The last two IFR flight plams I've filed via DUATS have been lost. One
was for a trip leaving BFM in Mobile and the other was out of MSN,
Madison, WI. This is the first time in five years this has happened,
and it happened twice in a row. The plans were filed on different
computers.

Anyone else have any trouble like that with DUATS lately?

In the tradition of asking, "is the computer plugged in," how do you know
the flight plans were lost? Are you sure it wasn't a zulu/local time
mistake that led to the flight plan not being available to the controller?

I ask this because I occasionally will arrive at the airport and preflight
much earlier than I anticipated, then call for my clearance only to
discover that ATC cannot find my flight plan. It then dawns on me that I
am attempting to get my clearance earlier than 1/2 hour prior to my
estimated departure time, which means the flight plan is not yet available
to the controller.
