Crossing multiple FIRs
 
Guys, sorry to drop this on your forum, but I figure you will know the answers ...

I'm taking a trip in a few days, and the journey will be broken into two legs : UK - Germany, and Germany - Czech Republic. The whole trip will be VFR (wx permitting ... fingers crossed!)

The first leg will have me crossing several FIR boundaries. On the flight plan, how do I deal with this ? I'm referring to the section 18 part where you have to show estimate for time to an FIR boundary (not that I can remember the syntax right now!). Do I just put in multiple estimates ?

Thanks for any help,

FF :ok:

Try this Page 8, 'EET/' and see if that explains it.

BOAC,

Thanks for that, but I'm not sure it does ...

If I'm crossing FIRs AAAA and BBBB, which of these do I use in section 18 ?

EET/AAAA0100 EET/BBBB0200

or

EET/AAAA0100BBBB0200

??

Thanks for your help !

Your first example - put them in individually

I would put EET/AAAA0001 BBBB0022 CCCC0044

That is generally how it is put in most FPL's I've seen.

I don't think it's crucial either way so long as the data is easily identifiable. I was taught (many years ago) to use one style. As you say, it's often shown in the other. Either way so long as its understandable that's the main criteria - most VFR plans being read "manually" as opposed to being subject to any form of Automatic Data Processing.
