Can I submit a Flight Plan or does Skyplan
submit it for me?
A.
CTO 2000 allows the user to submit
the flight plan request, it also allows
the user to file the ATC flight plan
through Skyplan's link to the AFTN network.
Q.
Do you have a
standard form to fill in for Flight
Plans?
A.
CTO 2000 is based on templates, simply
fill in the required fields and submit
the request to the flight planning system.
With as little as six (6) inputs a basic
flight plan can be generated.
Q.
What different
formats for flight plans are available?
A.
We have many different formats available
for use, basically we will build a format
to meet your airline requirements.
Q.
Do
I need to purchase a package to submit
a flight plan or can I do one adhoc?
A.
We have various ways of
billing based on per flight
plan request or flat rated.
You will need to setup an
account with Skyplan to
receive your flight plan
request. At that time you
can make a choice of per
request or flat-rate which
you can change at any time.
Q.
Is CTO Flight Planning a product or
a service?
A.
Actually CTO Flight
Planning is more of a
service than a product.
You request a Flight
Plan [product] through
Email, SITA, or ARINC
[service] and the Flight
Plan [product] is
returned using the same
medium [service]. CTO
Flight Planning is not
an actual application
that you would install
on your computer to run.
Q.
What if I
don't have all the
necessary information about my
aircraft or the airport I am going
to?
A.
We have a constantly
updated generic aircraft
database which can be
used for flight
planning, but the flight
plan results will be
more accurate if we have
your complete aircraft
information recorded.
The ICAO and/or IATA
codes to the destination
airport must be know to
generate a flight plan.
If you are uncertain of
having all required
information regarding
your aircraft or
airport, we would be
happy to assist you in
compiling a complete an
accurate report.
Q.
I made a Flightplan
request, but haven't received a response?
A.
Make sure you are receiving other
traffic on your SITA/ARINC/E-Mail gateway.
If this is working properly, then ensure
that you specified "FPREQ" on the first
line of the request.
