2.1.1  Except when other arrangement have been made for submission of repetitive flight plans, the pilot should complete and sign the Flight Plan form (ICAO format) and submit it to the ATS Unit at the aerodrome. (By local arrangement at large aerodromes, the operator’s competent representative may file the Flight Plan on behalf of the pilot.).

2.1.2 Flight Plan should be filed at least 60 minutes before departure or at most 120 HRs before EOBT unless arrangement have been made for submission of a repetitive Flight Plan which shall be activated by providing supplementary information before departure.

2.2.1 Where it has not been possible to file a flight plan on the ground, or where conditions make such an action necessary, a Flight Plan may be filed in the air with any ATS unit. Any desired operator’s address should be given by beginning with the words “I wish to file an airborne flight plan."

2.3.1 The first ARO receiving a Flight Plan, or change thereto, shall:

1. Check it for compliance with the format and data conventions.
2. Check it for completeness and, to the extent possible, for accuracy.
3. Take action if necessary to make it acceptable to the Air Traffic Services, and change thereto, to the originator.
4. Check it for compliance with the national requirement as entry flight clearance as required by the Civil Aviation Authority for the region where the airport is located.

2.4.1 If a pilot has begun a flight in controlled airspace under IFR Flight Plan, he may decide that on entering VMC he will cancel, it must be emphasized, however, that a pilot cannot exercise this choice in a controlled airspace, if ICAO SARPs prohibit.

2.4.2 In a controlled airspace where the exercise of the pilot’s choice is still possible, pilots may cancel IFR Flight Plans by notifying the ATS Unit concerned, provided that they are then operating in VMC. An IFR Flight Plan may be cancelled by transmitting the following message: “............ identification) - cancel IFR Flight Plan”.

2.4.3 ATC cannot approve or disapprove cancellation of an IFR Flight Plan, but when in possession of information along the route of the flight, will advise the pilot accordingly in the following manner “IMC reported (or forecast) in relation to other IFR traffic.

2.4.4 The fact that a pilot reports that he is flying in VMC does not itself constitute cancellation of IFR Flight Plan and unless a definite cancellation of the IFR Flight Plan, the flight will continue to be regulated in relation to other IFR traffic.

5.3.1 It is essential that care should be exercised in completing the flight plan form. Block letters should be used wherever possible to ensure clear reproduction of the information. Detailed instruction for using the component parts of the flight plan are detailed hereunder.

1. use block capitals
2. All times UTC
3. Pilot/Representative to complete Item 7 to 18 indicated hereunder unless ATS prescribes otherwise.
