White Shadow,

If only a few more vfr pilots were like you!!:p

That is all the details that I need to provide you with a FIS/RIS. You would be surprised at how long it can take me to drag all the required information out of some pilots!!:(

Almost as bad as the life story ones ;) ;)

STAND UP - SPEAK UP - SHUT UP....... ;)

VFR Flight Plans
 

A common misconception - VFR plans only go to the destination and the alternate. The computer that routes the plans doesn't know where to address them with regards to en-rte agencies (unless it was addressed to each one individually).

Notwithstanding this the actual practicalities of having the plan are non-existent. I for one am not going to make up a pile of strips for flights which may or may not call (no where to keep them ready anyway at summer traffic levels) but if this was to be done then there'd be no way I'd have the time to actually find the strip when the aircraft called if there were so many. Direct handovers or info when you call are the only practical solution at the moment.

Chilli,

You are correct that unless stated on the flight plan the plan only goes to destination/alternate adm.
Sorry I should of mentioned that at the time of posting.

Thanks

White Shadow - whilst I agree entirely with what you say (though maybe not the way you say it)....if you are going to re-write the CAP413 into your own language does that include the dropping of the word altitude when operating on a QNH??

If you're at a height you should be saying the QFE.

GW -

Oops.

Thanks. Should indeed have written Altitude, on QNH.

I usually just say the numbers, on RT. -
eg "two thousand feet, on QNH one zero two one"

Seems enough? Tho' probably wouldn't pass an RT exam...
