Frederic - I see your point and idea and therefore suggesting a solution to SD - which also should cover your wish but at the same time make it a more “failprof” solution.

SD: SD check if the one that sends a flightplan is sending with a temporary aircraft(shared route) thenSD should not accept sending the flp but give an error. Only fpl with aircrafts stored on the computer should be accepted. So when one gets a shared route, he/she must save the temporary aircraft and change information or chose an aircraft from the aircraft library where the pilot inf and aircraft information normally is stored.

Btw thanks for your idea.

Thank you Mike and Martin

I can guarantee that all the pilots I know and with whom I fly regularly are serious pilots who are trying to properly prepare their flights.
From the moment when several people made the same mistake, I thought, maybe stupidly, that we could help to stop making this mistake.
Markus thinks not by stopping to help the pilots. But then why to use SD as a navigational aid when there are maps? This is a joke. :-)))

When we exchange a route with another pilot, I would much rather receive the route without the personal informations. Then I could complete my flight plan and other information as I do for a route that I create myself.
But it seems that my idea is not shared. Never mind.

Frederic, my point is that filling a FP goes way beyond sending a registration. Before clicking the magic button, it really worst checking every single information twice. What about equipments ? Colors (very important for Search & Rescue) and all other pieces of informations ? If you copy a profile without checking the registration, there is a big chance many other things could also be wrong. Not speaking about W&B, which is also part of the profile. I can't imagine not checking everything for a flight under FP, but perhaps I'm a wrong.

Hi Tim

We also share fpl, but normally only for people onboard the same airplane - super nice.
Could it be possible for SD to check if the one that sends a flightplan is sending with a temporary aircraft, and in fact SD should not accept that. Only fpl with aircrafts stored on the computer should be accepted. So when another gets a copy of a fpl from another - he/she must save the temporary aircraft and change information or chose an aircraft from the library.

Alright my friends. I undertand that for you, a lot of pilot of my club are stupid enough. :-))) because it's already happened at different times for different pilot. 
Fortunately, when we had the problem, we are much more attentive next time.

It was just a suggestion to improve our SD...It is not necessary to be hurtful in his answers. keep us together.

I was still discussing this problem with 4 pilots of the club. All 4 had already sent a flightplan with SD with the wrong registration 

I'm part of a pretty huge Aéroclub, with members sending flightplans through SD regularly and I never heard such a thing before ... Filling a FP is something you should do seriously. If they mix-up registration, I don't want to know what else they wrongly fill. Do they also sometimes fly the wrong plane? ;-)

I'm afraid our answer does not change if you keep asking the same question. Please refer to my earlier answers on this thread, which still apply.

I think there should be a maximum stop to which extent Skydemon may correct and prevent mistakes of stupid pilots with sloppy flight preparation. Who spends so little effort on flight planning that hesheit misses a wrong registration in a flightplan will miss many and important other things as well, may even consider giving the license back and paves the way for autonomous flying, in which case stupid programmers replace the sloppy pilots. Just my opinion.

Hello Tim,

Last sunday, I was still discussing this problem with 4 pilots of the club. All 4 had already sent a flightplan with SD with the wrong registration of aircraft because they had used the route of another pilot and they forgot to change the aircraft registration in the flightplan. 
I feel that this mistake should be easy to commit and that SD could help us pay attention.

I think it would be enough to just have a warning popup in the case of use of another aircraft than the one defined by default.

If we use a route that is not created with the default aircraft, I think it would be great if we could have a warning popup that opens when we want to fill the flightplan. We could have this warning popup also when we open a route with an aircraft that is not the default one.
The ideal would be to have both warnings.

What do you think about this solution?
