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?

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.

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.

Group: Forum Members Posts: 538, Visits: 2.2K	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. -- Chris.‌‌

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.
