Sorry, we have no current plans to implement a way to send CHG messages. If a significant demand for it arises, we would of course consider developing such a feature.

I believe it would be a great feature. It is not uncommon to have to delay a departure or change an alternate at the last minute because of weather / waiting too long for fuel / notice after filing that there is an error .. I was there, so had to cancel and file a new one.

Thank you Tim
This is just an example received today:

REF YR FPL RA06360 EPLL0800-EETN
PSE SPECIFY THE LEVEL BECAUSE EPLL IS CONTROL AD AND SEND IT VIA
MODIFICATION MSG TO THE FPL
BRGDS ARO EPWA

Every country invents its local rules and requires we follow them in FPLs. Just an hour before above mentioned I received this:

GG EPWWZPZA
112044 EETNZPZX
HI, PLEASE AMEND FPL FOR RA06360 EPLL-EETN, ACCORDING TO ESTONIAN AIP
VFR FLIGHT SHALL PLAN ITS ENTRY TO TALLINN CTR VIA THE ENTRY POINTS
SHOWN ON THE VISUAL APPROACH CHART. PLEASE ADD ENTRY POINT TO FPL.
BEST REGARDS
TALLINN ARO

Filing a FPL from Poland to Estonia requires two amendments to one flight plan.

Please kindly consider adding CHG functionality provided it is already implemented in EuroFPL filing engine.
Thanks a lot for your great product.

I'd vote for that feature, too.

Here is my +1. I would appreciate the ability to send a delay message. It is often the case that i do the flight planning the evening before and file a plan for the next day. Then something comes up and I need to push EOBT back a bit. Being able to do that would be appreciated.

SkyDemon has always been able to delay flightplans, the website allows for this.

Material changes are easy to achieve by cancelling and refiling, and SkyDemo‌‌n makes this easier than it has ever been, which is why we never bothered to create a whole user interface about sending CHG messages. The complexity is that SkyDemon has already auto-generated the flightplan from your planned route, and at the point where a CHG message might be sent, the original planned route may no longer be available.

It would be great to have chance to amend/change already filed flight plan. EuroFPL interface provides such option and CHG messages are being sent by them when needed. Of course cancel/refile option always exists, but sometimes changes are faster.
Will it be possible to implement in the webpage along with Delete/Cancel/Close?
