What is a Flight Plan?

A flight plan is a crucial document in aviation, outlining the flight route and essential details. It's important for safety, efficiency, and air traffic control coordination, ensuring aircraft follow structured paths, minimize fuel consumption, and prevent midair conflicts.

Within Aeronautica it is useful to both pilots and controllers. For pilots, a well-thought-out plan will give you a realistic route to traverse the game, and for controllers, it helps to show your route on their radar scopes!

• Flights under VFR are encouraged to file a flight plan, but this is not required.

• Flights under IFR are required to file a flight plan!
