Default IFR flight plan with multiple stops

"gregscheetah" wrote in
ups.com:

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?

Thanks,


A stopover plan is legal, but probably not a good idea. If there is much
delay at the fuel stop, lots of confusion can result, and may even if there
is no delay. I file separate plans.
