Read a plan summary

A summary can contain:

• departure and arrival points, or a custom name
• callsign, flight rules and aircraft callsign
• ETD, ETE and ETA when an ETD has been entered
• the created or last-modified date
• total distance
• Filed OK after successful submission.

When the plan is saved online, ETD and ETA use local time at the departure and destination and show their time zones. Otherwise, these times use UTC.
