iFly GPS Forum

I used iFly to file an IFR flight plan. I got confirmation of filing from iFly and very quickly thereafter got a confirmation email form Lockheed Martin. I then canceled the flight plan in iFly. Again, got confirmation of successful cancelation from iFly. But, this time no email from Lockheed Martin. Is this expected behavior?

Also, the filing confirmation email from Lockheed Martin was pretty terse. Essentially, it just said “Filed Successfully”. DUATS provides a much more informative email containing the entire flight plan (including routing). Also, DUATS sends another email when ATC invariably changes the expected IFR routing. Anybody know if Lockheed Martin supports this feature?

So, from your reply, I take it that the interaction I experienced with Lockheed Martin is as expected (simply confirmation that the flight plan was filed, no confirmation of flight plan cancelation, no notice of route changes by ATC)? Perhaps a better (or additional) solution than using FlightAware.com, as you suggested, is to have the option for iFly to file and cancel flight plans with DUATS rather than LM. Perhaps I’ll post that on the Wish List board.

"Why don't you ask LM?"

Figured somebody on this forum might have seen the same behavior and all here might be interested. Plus the iFly staff may know the answer and would be much more responsive.
