What is a flight plan?
A flight plan is a crucial document in aviation, outlining the flight route and essential details. It's important for safety, efficiency, and air traffic control coordination, ensuring aircraft follow structured paths, minimize fuel consumption, and prevent midair conflicts.
Flights under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) are encouraged to file a flight plan.
Flights under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) are REQUIRED to file a flight plan.
