The NATS AFPEx interface is a website, but as soon as you want to actually do anything, it's a full blown Java app that you have to download each time you want to use it! Muchos megabytes... At least setting up the account takes less than 30 mins now

Have I read this correctly? If I live (with my heli) within the restricted area, I'll have to file a flight plan every time I lift?!! Does NATS have the capacity to cope with the avalanche of flight plans it's going to receive and monitor?! This sounds suspiciously like some donkey behind a desk dreaming up an ill conceived plan, but like a lot of 'temporary' ideas, I can see this becoming normal practice for Heli-route traffic after the Olympics
