Editing Flight plan (section)

==Flight plan timeline==
Flight plans may be submitted before departure or even after the aircraft is in the air.  However flight plans may be submitted up to 120 hours in advance either by voice or by data link; though they are usually filled out or submitted just several hours before departure.  The minimum recommended time is one hour before departure for domestic flights, and up to three hours before international flights. This depends on the country the aircraft is flying out of.{{Citation needed|date=March 2008}}
