A recent flight planning software package I am trying creates a single
flight plan - say from DSM to Jeffco. Even tho there is a fuel stop in
KLBF, about midway. This is what it wants to file with DUATS.

My question is: I have always thought it was necessary to file two
flight plans - one DSM to KLBF and another KLBF to Jeffco. Is this
necessary? Or can I file a single flight plan? Is the Voyager
software making a mistake?


A "through clearance" is a possibility. It's useful for brief stops at
locations without direct pilot/controller communications. But stops for
fuel tend to be longer than what most would consider to be brief, and there
is direct pilot/controller communications on the surface at LBF so a through
clearance offers no advantage. Just file two flight plans.
