I might be mistaken here but I always thought there was a filter to kill utterly ridiculous flight plans.

I was having a quick look at flights from Montevideo to see why one of my pilots only had 68 pax on a 752 and I noticed that one VA has a direct flight to Europe......in a C172

I'm sure there are many more, but even one is ridiculous. If there isn't currently a filter, how difficult is it to create one?

I know there is one in the automatic generator but it does have a flaw in that if an aircraft doesn't have a defined range value, it doesn't limit it, also I believe it may be possible to upload flight plans that are unfeasible.

If a range isn't specified the system won't reject it, however if it is listed, it should be rejected whether by upload or the direct entry system.

Thanks for the explanation guys, now I see how they slip through the net.

One more thing - just because they can book it - it doesn't mean they can execute it. The system will catch if they try to do anything "out of sorts" like make multiple landings.
