Missing flight plans
Three weeks ago, on a Saturday morning we had a plan on file, opened
with Jonesboro Radio and went trucking off merrily across the countryside. We arrived at our destination about 2.5 later and called to cancel - the plan was never opened. Kind of scary... Regards, James A. (Jim) Carter -----Original Message----- From: Paul kgyy [mailto

One was filed through Duats at 9PM for noon next day (and left at noon). The other was filed with a briefer at Terre Haute at 10PM for 8AM next day (and left on time). In both cases I had to re-file over the radio.

VFR - Unless something has changed, isn't an IFR plan is automagically opened when you are turned over to departure or upon your first airborne check-in with ATC?
