Hi all,
First of all, I just wanted to say how impressed I am with SkyDemon. It looks as though it will save a huge amount of time logging into various websites to check weather, NOTAMs and file flight plans, and will also make things like PLOGs, weight and balance and fuel planning much easier and less error-prone.
I hope this isn't too much of an insulting question, but I was wondering how tested and reliable the electronic flight plan filing feature is? I have visions of getting airborne only to find my flight plan is 'not in the system'.
Is there some sort of confirmation from SkyDemon that the flight plan has been successfully filed, and does confirmation mean that the plan is guaranteed to be filed? I suppose I could add my own AFPEx AFTN address to the 'additional addresses' field in SkyDemon to check that I receive it myself?
I presume you've tested this hundreds of times and I've not seen any reports of issues with it on the forums but would appreciate the peace of mind before I begin to rely on SkyDemon to file my flight plans.
Thanks again for a fantastic product.
Cheers
Sam

Finally succeeded in getting to Le Touquet yesterday. The SkyDemon flight plans worked beautifully for both legs.
I can't tell you how much easier SkyDemon has made the flight planning process. Sitting in the lounge at Le Touquet and checking weather, NOTAMs and filing a flight plan via a netbook, free wifi and SkyDemon is such a huge improvement over the reams of paper and whizz wheels etc that this process used to require.
Once again, thanks for a great product.
Cheers
Sam
