In the UK it is sometimes difficult to get a VFR FPL opened when airborne due to very busy FIR frequency or the ATC units unwilling to help.
Would it be possible (or feasible) to have a "OPEN FPL" feature in SD that can be activated from the app? Thinking it could be something to "click on" when ready for take-off, or 10 mins from departure etc.
Would also need some fairly quick response back by e-mail of confirmation that the FPL has been opened.
Obviously cell phone coverage required from cockpit or wifi connection in the clubhouse/terminal building.

MarkusM,

Very impractical in UK and probably won't work. We don't have a system like they do in, for example, France.
Currently in UK, if your departure airfield can't or won't open your flightplan the only alternative is to call the FIR.
