Flight Planning

VFR Flight Plans (SARWATCH)

A pilot must submit a VFR flight plan before flight when:

  • the flight is planned to operate more than 50 NM from shore; or
  • an alerting service is required. 

 

A VFR flight plan may also be submitted for any other VFR flight.

Only one VFR flight plan may be active for an aircraft at any one time.

If a flight plan has been submitted, the pilot must:

  • advise ATS of any changes to the flight plan;
  • amend the SARTIME before it expires, if necessary; and
  • terminate the flight plan before the SARTIME.

 

A new flight plan cannot be submitted until the previous one has been cancelled or terminated.
