General Information and Procedures:

  • The Planned ATC Route is not an ATC clearance. You must contact Clearance Delivery, Ground Control, FSS, or Departure Control to get a valid ATC Clearance.
  • The Planned ATC Route is not a PDC.
  • The Planned ATC Route is what ATC is planning for your flight, and will most likely be the Route segment of your ATC clearance.
  • For international departures to the U.S., the Planned ATC Route is usually not available until 30 minutes before the scheduled departure time.
  • FltPlan will list your Planned ATC Route in the Active Flight Plan List (located on the Main Menu page) when your route becomes available. If you click on this route, it will bring you to a page you can print for reference.
  • We will list your Planned ATC Route on the Flight Plan Data Entry Page for reference if you want to create a new NavLog with the new ATC Route (if applicable).
  • We will list your Planned ATC Route on the T.O.L.D. Card so you have it for reference when copying your actual ATC clearance.
  • The Planned ATC Route is for informational purposes only and may differ from what you actually get from Clearance Delivery.
  • Go to the Main Menu > Flight Tracking > Planned ATC Route / EDCT to get a route without having created a NavLog. Just enter the tail number, departure airport and arrival airport, and we will display the Planned ATC Route (if available).
