A method for obtaining flight plan clearance allows a general aviation pilot to negotiate flight plan clearance directly with an air navigation service provider (ANSP), exchanging digital data messages, with the pilot using a wireless communication device, such as a smartphone or a tablet computer. After an initial flight plan has been submitted, the pilot receives a message regarding clearance of the initial flight plan. Proposed changes to the flight plan may be received using the wireless communication device, which may be used to conduct further flight plan change negotiations via digital data messages. The messages may be sent from the wireless communication device may use a format that is suitable for use by the ANSP. There may be security features provided to ensure that flight plan changes are negotiated only by an authorized user, such as the pilot who submitted the original flight plan.
