I don't know if this is just me but........ Smile

Yesterday I filed a plan to LFAT on my iPad and then reversed the route to file the homeward leg. I received both the confirmations via email but what I hadn't noticed was that the addressees were not filled in correctly on the return leg. I have tried this on the web-based system and it appears to do the same thing. At least I can check this on the web-based system before sending but on the iPad I have not found a way of seeing the addressees. Needless to say the controller at LFAT had not received my return plan so I had to sit for a while whilst they searched with Lille!

The tower at LFAT have a long history of being 'unable to find your flight plan' (many Flyer forum debates). No one is really sure why this is, however the foolproof method which a number of us now use, seems to be to file the outbound plan via SD and then hand in one of their 'LFAT format' flight plans pre-filled in (you can download one) to the folk behind the desk for your return leg and tootle off for an appropriately expensive lunch in town - this has worked every time! :-)
