. ATC don't see the endurance. That part of the plan is not transmitted when the plan is filed. That part of the plan is only disseminated when overdue/SAR action needs to be taken.

I did not know that, but it would explain why this flight plan was "accepted" by the various ATC agencies. Seems the local ATC in VVI did not raise an eyebrow as they saw the whole flight plan before they entered the info into the ATC system.
I sure had plenty FPs turned down or questioned if I made a small mistake or forgot to dot an I or cross a T in various third world countries where we filed manually and in person at the local office.
