Increasingly, the responsibility for originating a Flight Plan and it's associated messages is being delegated by ATC to aircraft operators. The responsibility for completing all parts of the form, including the addressing, rests with the pilot / operator. The faxing of Flight Plans should only take place if it is not possible to send the Flight Plan using the new online system, either with a personal account, a Flying Club account or in the Control Tower.
