The last two IFR flight plams I've filed via DUATS have been lost. One
was for a trip leaving BFM in Mobile and the other was out of MSN,
Madison, WI. This is the first time in five years this has happened,
and it happened twice in a row. The plans were filed on different
computers.

Anyone else have any trouble like that with DUATS lately?

As a matter of fact, that happend to me yesterday. I filed three of
them. One from COS to LBF, LBF to ICT, ICT back to COS. The first one
was there but when I went open the other two, they were gone. Had to
refile. And this was the first time I had ever had DUATS fail me.


Now that I've had happen several times. The system does not seem to like
multiple flight plans in the system at the same time. I'm sure someone
smarter on the flight plan system can explain why.

Strange, I've filed many plans simultaneously with 30min gaps between
the ETA of one plan and the departure time of the next without issue.
By the time I get there, top off, and call up clearance they're
waiting to give me the next route. Many a day I do 2 plans for a
quick-turn flight. I've done 3 plans at once for currency flights.
Even did 4 plans for a 10hr day once, filed all of them before I left
the hotel in the morning. Haven't had one disappear. Course, YMMV.
