Ok. I guess at least one flight got its clearance when not inside an
approach plate, and prior to flight plan info being communicated.
When not inside an approach plate?
I take it from your responses that this is normal procedure.
It's not uncommon.
Hmmm. What
are the criteria used to determine when flight plan info is to be required
first, and when not?
I don't know of any.
