Is it possible to copy a raw flight plan created but not yet filed with SD?

I am asking because SD is really good at creating flight plans from planned routes. However, SD is in my opinion not the best tool to file a flight plan because filing a flight plan with SD is mainly 'fire and forget' (and make telephone calls etc.).

It would therefore be useful if created flight plans could be copied (and pasted into another tool with additional features such as flight plan status).

(I am aware of the 'Flightplan Response Received' feature in beta. It is useful but is still not a replacement for other tools where you get a flight plan status, can close a flight plan etc.)

No, there isn't such a tool in SkyDemon. The reason is as I outlined above: there is no such thing as a standard for VFR flightplans. DFS can offer it to you providing your flightplan is concerned only with Germany as a departure, as they also do all the flightplan routing. Same with Skyguide in Switzerland.

SkyDemon is an international tool and works outside those regions, where there is no standardisation for VFR flightplan "status".

Hi!
I would also vote for a function to "export" a flightplan from SkyDemon. At least in Sweden we are used to file our flightplans through Flight Planning Centre at Arlanda (ESSA) via their web page. They allow one to import a flightplan in the ATS ICAO format, and it would be great to have the possibility to export an ATS ICAO format from SkyDemon. Example:

(FPL-SELFV-IG
-P28A/L-SD/C
-ESSB1500
-N0150A050 DCT TRS DCT
-ESSB0100 ESKN
-DOF/181231
-E/0500 P/001
A/W

From Flight Planning Centre's webpage it is then easy to follow the status of the submission, if you get a FLIGHTPLAN ACK or if it's rejected. 


 I understand that SkyDemon is an international tool, but why dont just offer a way to export to the ATS ICAO format? Isn't that some kind of strandard?
