Group: Forum Members Posts: 15, Visits: 63	Hello Once I have filed a flightplan (post-atlas) should I expect an e-mail acknowledgement/acceptance message, like we received during the atlas period? Or can I assume that 'no news is good news' and if I hear nothing I am good to go...? Mike M Alpi Pioneer 200

You should find, however, that you still receive theconfirmation email from us containing your flightplan details. This indicates that your flightplan is in thesystem, and logging into the Flightplan Management section also confirmsthis. Some of our users do like to calltheir departure or destination airfield to double-check there are no problems,however you should find it's not necessary. Alpi Pioneer 200
