It is also important, that if a pilot does file a FPL and then lands elsewhere, that they notify the original destination without delay. When landing at an alternate aerodrome with an ATSU, it can be expected that the ATSU will send an arrival message on the pilot's behalf. However, it is important that the pilot informs the ATSU that they have diverted from the planned destination. Failure to notify the original destination may cause unnecessary search and rescue action to be initiated.
Highland and Island Airports Limited have highlighted the specific remoteness of some of their airports and the CAA considers it appropriate to emphasise the advice to pilots to file a flight plan when flying to or from the following HIAL aerodromes:
Barra (EGPR)
Benbecula (EGPL)
Campbeltown (EGEC)
Inverness (EGPE)
Islay (EGPI)
Kirkwall (EGPA)
Stornoway (EGPO)
Sumburgh (EGPB)
Tiree (EGPU)
Wick (EGPC)
Abbreviated Flight Plans
An Abbreviated Flight Plan is the limited information required to obtain a clearance for a portion of flight, filed either by telephone prior to take-off or by radiotelephony (RTF) when airborne. This might apply in the case of a required clearance to fly in a Control Zone (CTR) or crossing an Airway. No flight plan form is submitted and the destination aerodrome will not be informed.
