who wanted FL200 over CWS without a flight plan
Spodman, it's good to hear the other side. Question for you:

Where I fly, FW is available on a discrete frequency, except for a few hours a day. During that time the notams say ... "ON-REQUEST FLIGHT INFORMATION (FIS), SARTIME AND EMERG ALERTING SERVICES AVAILABLE ON FIA FREQUENCIES OR HF"

In a possibly misguided attempt to ease things through the system, when flying vfr I always put in a flight plan with a TBA sartime.

So, does having the plan in make any (useful) difference to you if I call BN CEN to nominate or cancel the sartime ?, or is it all the same and you have no direct access to the information I've put in ?
