Which term represents a filed Flight Plan?

• A. Flight Plan
• B. Change Proposal
• C. Change
• D. Delay

Answer: (A)

In aviation, the document you submit to air traffic services before a flight is the flight plan. The term that represents this filed document is simply the flight plan, because it is the actual record that ATC receives and uses to manage the flight. The other terms describe actions that can happen to that plan after filing—changing it, proposing a modification, or experiencing a departure or progress delay—but they do not denote the filed document itself. Understanding this helps you recognize that the flight plan is the label for the formal, submitted record of the intended flight.
