Basic information:

FPL:	An FPL is required for all international flights and for flights which are partly or entirely carried out in controlled airspace. An FPL is also compulsory for flights at/above 5000 feet AMSL or 3000 feet AGL – whichever is higher. An FPL must be filed at least 60 minutes prior to the intended departure.
