The British Airways flight planning department have agreed
to take care of our flight planning needs, Linda Mitchell kindly has been
doing our planning for the last few years when she took over from Mark.
Linda provides our flight crew with a BA format flight plan, that contains
all the route information as well as all of the fuel figures. During the
flight, the crew are able to use the plans to check the progress of the
flight along side the log. If they find we are burning more fuel than
planed then the flight crew would have to decide to divert. This planning
is a real help to us and we thank Linda for giving up her time to do it.
