KPPV1 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Can general aviation peeps file an 1801? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brabus Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Why? File on any one of the easy apps/websites. To answer your question sort of (this is an assumption), but my guess is no since it’s a DOD form. The form is meant for baseops folks to take the information and give it to ARTCC so the pilot doesn’t have to...something about being the people person. Never heard of civilians using DOD forms in an unofficial capacity/for something not linked to the DOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzdude Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 DD1801 is the military version of the ICAO flight plan; I'd use that if that's the format you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homestar Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Just choose ICAO from the Foreflight drop down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Right Seat Driver Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I never file 1801s for CONUS, the 175 is the heat. Why would you ruin GA with the 1801? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawg15 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Why would you ruin GA by involving the Air Force bureaucracy? 1-800-wxbrief “hey bro I’m flying a plane from here to there, thanks.” I still pretty much never do that seeing as I stick with VFR. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At KHRT we are bypassing and using Foreflight, we just include airfield mgmts email so they are in the loop.

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkDo you use the 1801 in ForeFlight or just the FAA form? ForeFlight won't let a VFR 1801 go though and BO won't take the FAA plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVS has been using ForeFlight filing for almost a year. Believe we used the FAA form out there as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really doesn’t matter the format. Unless you’re talking about routine ops from home station where I’m sure you’ll need to battle whoever build his empire at base ops.

No BO that I've ever filed with has ever filed a VFR flight plan with the FSS. Literally the only use is to get engine start approval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the empire is significant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
