2 Introduction The Pilot Portal is a web based application allowing a user to create FPL Proposals without terminal Access and even via mobile devices, such as tablet PCs. The web application is connected to the software used in ARO. The Pilot Portal gives the possibility: to submit flight plan proposals and/or change them; to save the flight plan as template for recurrent usage; independently prepare a bulletin based on the valid NOTAMs; read meteorological forecasts; to receive essential information relating to the airspace, such as airways, aerodromes, navigation aids, restricted areas, routes, runways and waypoints. to use Visual flight planning to create FPL route, insert it to FPL form, to modify the created FPL route Proposals as FPL and messages are handled by Tallinn ARO. The user of the Pilot Portal gets an overview of proposed FPL messages he/she created and can also track operations that have been applied to these messages.! All messages created via the Pilot Portal are message proposals that need to be accepted by an operator of ARO before they become effective! Pilot responsibility is to make sure that his/her Flight plan proposal is accepted by Tallinn ARO and flight plan has status active.
