Action When the Destination Aerodrome has no ATSU or AFTN Link
If a pilot has filed a FPL to a destination that does not have an active ATSU, and is not connected to the AFTN, they are required to pass the ETA, prior to departure, to a ‘responsible person’ at the destination aerodrome. In the event of the aircraft failing to arrive at the destination aerodrome within 30 minutes of the notified ETA, the ‘responsible person’ must immediately advise the Parent Unit in order that alerting action may be commenced.
Exceptionally, where a pilot is unable to find someone to act as a ‘responsible person’ at the destination aerodrome, they may contact the appropriate Parent Unit prior to departure and request that it acts in this capacity. In this case, the pilot must contact the Parent Unit within 30 minutes of the ETA (calculated from the FPL and departure time), as failure to do so will trigger alerting action.
Delays, Departures, Modifications and Cancellations to a Filed Flight Plan
General
Having filed a FPL, pilots or AOs may require to change the existing FPL details. In most cases, a standard modification message can be sent. However, in some cases, the original FPL must be cancelled and a new FPL submitted. A second FPL cannot simply be used to amend the first.
