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. Another difference with DUATS and AFSS filed flight plans is with an AFSS filed flight plan I have access to it immediately via the Tower's FDIO. A DUATs flightplan doesn't get sent to the center immediately therefore when you show up early I have no access to your flightplan because it isn't in the system yet. |

In the old days it would be held in "temporary storage" at the flight plans
originating computer. It would then be printed out at the sector and terminal facility approximately 30 minutes prior to the Proposed Departure time. This was a site paramater that could be adjusted. Now it also may have parameters from the DUATS. Al "Newps" wrote in message ...
