As a Flight Ops Officer holding a Dispatch License,I'm often besieged with queries from our Dispatch HQ asking us to " check with ATC" whether the so-and-so route is free from restrictions;this in spite of all the Notams and AIP Supplements given to them by us to aid them in flight planning,not to mention timely e-mails and telexes regarding sudden airspace,airport closures.
Often,we go over the same stuff that they can and consult ATC(they get pretty annoyed :mad:at our juvenile queries when the same data has already been disseminated,and rightly so!!) and reply back.
Another way to go about would be to simply file the flight plan over AFTN and check the response from any enroute FIR!!:ugh:

Is there a website which offers a sort of validation of an ATS Route before it can be filed?
A random 'Google' search only got me IFPS Validation presented by EuroFPL (http://validation.eurofpl.eu/)

Any ideas,ladies and gents?

Cheers.

If you are operating in Europe, have a good look at the CFMU Public Network Operations Portal : https://www.public.nm.eurocontrol.int/PUBPORTAL/gateway/spec/index.html

Thnak you,plans123.
Been trying to figure this site out for the last couple of days,but it looks like a paid membership.Anyway,I work for a major M-E national carrier.We've got B747s,748s,777s,77Fs,A330/320/321/340s and some worn out ERJs.I mainly use the B777s and A330s for our queries.

There are two levels of access.. there is a public access that I linked to and one that can be accessed via a token which can be applied for through Eurocontrol which I believe is at no cost
