Second stage FPL

[bankrupttick]

Could anyone please explain to me what a second stage FPL is? I've searched online, but can only find vague references to it in the Dutch AIP and in a Eurocontrol manual regarding the IFPS... and nowhere else. Is this a specific Dutch type of FPL? Or is it an ICAO/regional standard that no-one except the Netherlands uses? Or have I lost the plot completely and it is in fact something everyone uses and I've been asleep for while?

Thanks in advance! :ok:

Judging by the deathly silence, I suspect the ATC forum may know since it appears to be a
1) Dutch
2) ATC FLTPLN

thing

The term seems to be referring to flights through intermediate stops, as covered in 4.5.3 of PANS-ATM.

@ hvogt and BOAC: thank you, you answers led me on the right track.

@ Varun Gandhi: If you say so...
