London have nothing to do with accepting or rejecting FP its all to do with Brussels
Can you please fill in detail? I would be very interested to understand how this works.
I can file an
IFR FP from Goodwood to Aberdeen, 2400ft. IFPS does not reject it.
Upon departure from Goodwood, I call up London Info to get the airways clearance for London Control. They have nowt for me, and they cannot get it because LC haven't got the flight plan...
What happened?
(Let's disregard the fact that filing IFR at 2400ft is pointless, but the same happens at say FL050, which is definitely in CAS some of the way).
In another forum, one ATCO said that the IFR sectors use "filters" to reject flight plans, so the FP can be with IFPS but London Control have actually dumped it. When I asked for more info he said it was probably confidential
I never found out any more about this.
Does IFPS look at the FP and refuses to distribute it to the IFR sector controllers, subject to some rules? If so, what are those rules?
