FPL in US airspace

[tomekp]

Hi!

My dispatch company has problem one day with FPL which has been filed properly (via AFTN) but was not visible from the TWR (KPBI airport). As we not plan flights to US very often, did you hear about any web page where you can check if the FPL is in the system (in the US airspace)?

BRGDS!

Hello Tomek,
The best way to deal with US FPL flining is to file it not more than 2 hours prior to the flight, and double check with respectie ATC center if plan is on file. If they don't have it, ask for a fax number and send it through. They usually put i in the system manually then. Biggest issue with plans not on file is normally KTEB, due to so many airports controlled out of Kennedy....

If your dispatch company uses Jetplan.com, there's a list of centers and their phone numbers available.

Good luck and happy flying into the US!
