Don't worry - unless you've been to Planning > Submit ICAO flight plan... and pressed the Submit button, chances are you haven't submitted a flight plan.

The AvPlan server actively looks for messages in the Australian ATC system that match the same combination of;

  • aircraft callsign, and

  • arrival airport, and

  • departure airport

as a flight plan that's sitting open on one of your devices.


The probability is much higher for flying school or club aircraft that are having flight plans submitted of the round-trip type, e.g. from YSBK back to YSBK.
​
To prevent further messages like this, go though all of your devices and make sure that the flight plan has been put back in Stored Plans. This process sends a message to the server to stop listening out for the messages for you.

NOTE: Even if the app is shut down or in the background, the server is still dutifully on the lookout.
​
You can also optionally turn off all notifications like this by tapping Settings > Notifications and un-ticking Flight Plan Notifications.
