IVAO Belgium

Every type of flight requires a flight plan. Once your flight plan is filled in correctly, you have to file it. By doing so, the controller knows the type of plane you fly, your destination, the SID youlike to use…Even if no controller is present, you need to file your flight plan. This way, other pilots will also know what you intend to do, which route you will follow.

To file a flight plan you need to be connected with IVAO (see Pilot software (IvAp)).

When connected, go to the ACARS[1] window and press “Send Flight Plan”.

The following window will appear. You need to fill in the flight plan to fly from Brussels to Schiphol. Press “Send FPL” to send your flight plan to the IVAO network.

It is important to mention “Newbie” in the field “Other information”. This will inform the controllers that you are new on IVAO and they will provide you additional assistance if needed.

For more information about the other fields in the flight plan, please consult the IvAp manual. This manual is installed as part of the IvAp installation. If not, you can download it via the following site:
