Peter 1028518 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 The flightplan should allow "VFR" to be filled in at the Level field. Now it only accepts a set level (A or F) "VFR" is the official indication "for uncontrolled VFR flights" as indicated in the AIP ENR 1.10.3 Can this be corrected?

Maher Abaza Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Hey Peter, Thanks for your suggestion. Under which regulations is "VFR" accepted in the level field? As far as I remember, we based the flight plan form validations on ICAO flight plan standards (forgot which document). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter 1028518 Posted December 17, 2021 Author Share Posted December 17, 2021 Please see any AIP, section ENR 1.10 item 15.b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maher Abaza Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Thanks for the clarification Peter. It turns out this is already implemented! But instead of "VFR", use the letter "V" alone. This is how it is indicated in the official ICAO flight plan form. For future reference, check out the tiny (i) icon next to the item name, it has a brief description on the accepted syntax and values for each field.

According ICAO DOC 4444 latest edition 16, of 2016, in appendix 2, page A2-9 at the top, it should be "VFR", not "V" in item 15b. The abbreviation "V" is for item 8. see page A2-4 That is also copied to legally official AIP documents of several countries. So what now is in POSCON flightplan is incorrect, but I will use "V" in item 15 for the time being. Thank you very much for this suggestion.

Maher Abaza Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Appreciate your input Peter. I will delegate this to the developers responsible for the flight plan form logic to take a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
