FltPlan.com provides EDCT Info
FltPlan.com can make your life easier by providing you with EDCT information. We receive our data from the FAA, and then provide this information to you for your flight. If there is a flow control program affecting your departure airport, arrival airport, or the enroute portion of your flight, you can receive updates in one of three ways:
1.) A message giving the details will be put on your Active Flight Plan list under your flight. (Fig. 1a & Fig. 1b)
2.) You can click on the EDCT link on the Active Flight Plan list (next to your flight), which will take you directly to the information from the FAA EDCT website. (Fig. 2)
See notes below*
3.) If you have set your account to receive text messages/email notification for proposed flights or Planned ATC Routes, we will automatically send EDCT messages directly to your smartphone device. (Fig. 3) & (Fig. 4)
See notes below**

What will the message say?
If there are any delays, you will receive a message for a new departure time (wheels up time). Times are updated when a new EDCT is issued.
If your departure/arrival airport is involved with a delay program, but your flight is not affected, the message will say so. (i.e. This flight is not controlled at this time. Please check back prior to departure.)

How can I sign up for text message/e-mail notifications?
Log into your account, and on the Main Menu page click on the ATC Routes/EDCTs link. Once there, you can enter your email address (or cell phone text message address) for two different N numbers or addresses. This will enable you to get notifications that a flight plan has been filed, what the Planned ATC Route is, and if there are any EDCTs in effect. For text messages please enter your full cell phone number and then your service provider. (i.e. 2035551212@vtext.com or 2035552121@sprintpcs.com etc.) Note: For our Premium Flight Tracking Customers, these controls are on your Flight Tracking page, and you can get up to 20 different combinations of flights and text message addresses.

In summary
Knowing of any EDCT can help you look good to your passengers and saves the aggravation of finding out your flight is delayed after you have loaded up the plane and started your engines.

If you are not getting text messages/email notification, then you should check the Active Flight Plan list about an hour before departure (or after your flight plan has been filed) to see if there are any delays for your flight.

There are several unique places you can enter your phone number and email address.

1) Change User or PIC Info page.
	a) You can enter your number and email address at the top of the page. b) On this same page there are two places for phone numbers, and one space for an email address. For accounts with multiple pilots, you should enter each pilot's contact information. If there is a problem with a flight, we can contact the pilot directly. (This is especially helpful for early or late night flights.)
2) A/C ICAO Data page.
	On the bottom of the ICAO data page, there is a section for entering a contact person and phone number for each aircraft.
3) eAPIS page.
	For our eAPIS customers, there is a section for storing and listing contact numbers and email addresses for each flight.
4) FBO Fax Brief page.
	For those that send FBO Fax Briefings, (see newsletter July 15th 2009), you should set your Default Contact Information. This provides FBOs with a way to contact you if they need more information or for confirmation of your arrival requests.
