ATC Flight Plan amendment as to requirements

[James Pimenta]

I noticed that before you start a IFR plan you have to state your flight plan route including SIDS.

If ATC tell you to takeoff and fly another departure not previously stated in your flight plan do you have to re file another flight plan/what they want and BEFORE you taxi to the runway.

Do they expect this?

Atc will amend the flightplan as necessary during your flight.

So I only need to file the flight plan just the once on XPilot, regardless of any ATC departure changes?

Yup.

Also of note: in the US it is customary to file a SID and a STAR as part of your filed route, if there is a SID and a STAR applicable to your aircraft and navigation type.  In many places outside the US, it is customary to file only the enroute portion as ATC will assign your SID and your STAR.
