Flight plan form instructions

[shumway76]

Is there any official guidance document on filling the flight plan form by ICAO?
I did a search but only found guidance documents from organisations (eg. atlasaviation, navcanada etc etc) but nothing from ICAO...
Since the original flight plan form is originated by ICAO, then shouldn't they have an official publication on how to fill it up?

The syntax is in PANS-ATM (doc 4444) as the Appendix on ATS messages. It's not very a user-friendly guide if all you want to do is fill out the form.

Thanks for the link. This is the first documentation I see that fully explains the relationships between items to be filled in in item 10 and 18.

The uppermost doc here (http://www.euroga.org/articles/technical/resources/index) is very clear.

I once asked Ops at Biggin for help on a couple of the items, prior to my first flight across the channel. The answer was that if I have a PPL, I should know how to do a flight plan. I don't disagree, but it was certainly not part of the curriculumn at my school.

I know use SkyDemon and has asked never to ask for help from grumpy old men. :ugh:

If you want to file a VRF Flight Plan, then Safety Sense Leaflet 20C published by the CAA is useful:

FOK :)
