My airfield now requires me to file a flight plan to operate after hours. They need the DEP message and suggest getting London Info to do it. I'm unconvinced they are going to be happy with this so if I can do it myself it would be ideal. thanks Mark

That's the 'regular' way to do it - except it's different in the UK than other parts of Europe.

It is nice of FIS on Info frequency to relay your DEP message to AIS, but depending on country nothing I would say is 'regular'. The VFR flight plans are by no means standardized as the IFR system, so I do not see a way to economically implement a message system like this in a software with such VFR focus as Skydemon?

I operate out of an uncontrolled field, and every flight plan I submit has to be activated either by (VFR) or through (IFR) London Info.
