Continuing a flight plan after Pilot2ATc has frozen

Featured Replies

Hi Dave,

Pilot2ATC froze mid flight (IFR PANC-PADQ). I kept flying, closed PILOT2ATC, restarted it and loaded the same flight plan again. I contacted ATC and tried to file the FP without sucess. The ATC kept saying the FP was old and I had to refill it. I modified it (mainly just introducing the destination airport) and asked for clearance a several times, but I couldn't find a way  to "continue" the FP where Pilo2ATC left it when it froze or to get to PADQ IFR

I guess I am missing something. Can you please assist? Thank you.

If you have to restart P2A in mid flight you:

1.    Load same flight plan as was loaded prior to the disconnect/crash. (So you'll be on course when you restart)
2.    Connect to SIM
3.    File the flight plan
4.    Make initial call to ATC.  Usually this would be “<CallSign> at flight level xxx” or something similar
5.    ATC will give you a squawk code and all should proceed normally after that.
This will work while you are en-route, up until you've received the Arrival Information call.  After that, it may or may not work.

Thanks Dave. That's the thing. I press file but it doesn't get green. Does it matter?

Beta 8B when I had the issue. I have just installed 8E. The FP filed ok on departure and was imported from simbrief

Just to clarify I had BETA 8B installed when I had the issue. The FP was imported from simbrief and filed ok on departure but I couldn't file it midflight (it didn't turn green).

I have just installed BETA 8E.
