Region flight plan...

For the ones who don't want to spend time on creating flight plans, EasyATC can process Region flight plan. A region flight plan is a list of all the airports you want to be able to contact, to land on or to take-off from. I call this "region" but you can put in this flight plan all the airports you want, from Heathrow to JFK airport or Cambera airport in Asutralia!
The ATC will not expect a lot from you. Then, when flying in VFR, you are fully free to fly where you want.
When approaching one of the airports in the flight plan, just ask for a landing clearance (that will be approved in any case) and land! Once on the ground, you can ask for a take-off and fly to one of the other airports...
Some things to know...
  • You can abort a landing by using the Transit Out request. (this works whatever the flight plan is, region or not)
  • The ATC will not give you the frequency of the next waypoint when you leave the airspace of an airport. In a region flight plan, the waypoints are not supposed to be waypoints but just a list of available airports.
  • Note that to consider a flight plan as a Region flight plan, EasyATC process the whole flight plan: if ALL the waypoints are airports, the flight plan is a region one. If there is at least ONE single waypoint that is not an airport, the flight plan is a "normal" one.
