How do I file an en route delay?

ForeFlight Mobile supports delays for flight planning and filing purposes.

Basic Plus and Pro Plus Accounts

Basic Plus and Pro Plus customers can manually enter delays using the following formatting:

waypoint identifier/Dh+mm.

Here is an example using a 35-minute delay at SKIDS:

SKIDS/D0+35

Entering "SKIDS/D0+35" results in SKIDS(DELAY 0h35m)

Delays can be added to the following types of en route waypoints:

Latitude-longitude
Fix-radial-distance
Intersections
Navaids

Multiple delays are supported per flight. Delays for the following are not supported:

Delays for international flights
Delays cannot be added to departing or arriving airports, SIDs, or STARs.

When a route containing a delay is sent to Flights for filing purposes, the delay is included in the flight's enroute section.

Delay is included on the flight plan form formatted for filing
