- VFR Flight Plans: VFR Flight Plans remain within the Leidos system throughout the duration of a flight. Once you file a VFR flight plan, it can be amended or cancelled for up to 2 hours past the estimated time of departure (ETD). It can be activated within 30 minutes of the current time (before or after). After activation, the flight plan can be amended until the flight plan is closed. The flight plan must be closed within 30 minutes after the estimated time of arrival (ETA). Note: Leidos offers an advanced service that sends a notification to a pilot to close their flight plan before it is overdue - one reason to considered credentialed filing. You may also consider such a reminder in your own application.

A flight plan can be amended or cancelled up to 46 minutes prior to ETD. After that, the pilot will need to contact the requisite ATC center to manage the flight plan.

Important items to note in the response:
- The versionStamp is the version of the flight plan that is retained in our system. Whenever you do anything to modify the flight plan, you need to reference the latest version of the time stamp.
- The flightIdentifier is a unique identifier that is associated with every flight plan that is created in the system. It is used with other web service calls that fetch data based on a specific flight plan such as retrieveFlightPlan, amendFlightPlan, cancelFlightPlan, and amendFlightPlancloseFlightPlan. This value does not change. You should retain this information on your side so you have a reference to it in the future, particularly if you are using anonymous filing.
