Hello guys and girls,
I work for a private company operating small turboprops for corporate reasons.We have no aoc and no plans to get one. Most of our flights are trough Russia/EU border occasionally overflying Turkish and Belarus airspace.
In a better days we could afford a decent european dispatch company that would do all for us , from flight planning to permits /slots.
Nowadays we are counting pennies and i am a lucky pilot who got assigned to dispatch and flight planning duties.
Things are pretty straight forward with Flight plans all i need is autoroute and file option from my software.
But when it gets to Overfly and Entry Permit i am facing concrete wall.
As an example Belarus permit requires AFTN or SITA code to be sent to UMMDYAYX.
Is there a way i can send AFTn with my Laptop?
If not , how difficult and beurocratic can it get to connect to one?
Maybe there is some inexpensive medium company between a mortal pilot and AFTn people?
Thanks!
