If a FP is not activated, there is no SAR. ie if you never take off or you take off and don't talk to ATC the fp is not activated and will "fall" off the system after a couple hrs, no further action required....pietmeyer wrote:Here with the response I got from ATNS with regards to Search and Rescue in the flight plan. Now another question. If I have filed my Flight Plan but do not fly on that day. Do I still have to phone and let Lanseria know that I am not flying and that the plans wont be active?
I for eg have taken off FAVB on a FP and the repeater for 119.50 was down. I could also not raise 118.55, so no 1 to activate the FP with. Even though I had filed FP with SAR FAJS +1hr, the FP was never activated so could not cancel something not active?
Also remember if you talking to Info (north 127.40 or South 119.50) they close at 16:00 Z (6pm)... Around Harties 126.70 usually works even lower down if you need "help" or want to cancel SAR....
PS
If you running late (or early) you can delay or bring forward a FP that is already on the system far easier than filing a new one. ATC are usually most helpful.....
I wonder if the Morph man can help
