English: Flight documents
French: Documents de vol
Your pilots need certain paperwork before you can depart. One important document is the flight plan. The flight plan provides the pilots with many important pieces of information, including but not limited to: the planned flight path, alternate airport information in case of diversions, weather, fuel provided, passenger count, baggage weight, etc.
Another relevant piece of paperwork comes from maintenance personnel. If they were working on a mechanical issue, they need to fill out the appropriate paperwork afterwards and hand it to the pilots before departure so that the airplane has an updated copy of the maintenance record.
If your departure is delayed because you’re still waiting for paperwork, you may need to make an announcement informing the passengers.
“Flight plan” is usually translated as “plan de vol.”
We’ll opt to use “documents de vol” to refer to all kinds of paperwork, beyond just flight plans and maintenance paperwork.
Plan (m)=Plan
Vol (m)=Flight

Flight Attendant Souvenirs. Souvenirs d’un agent de bord. Okinawa, Japan. February 2015. Okinawa, Japon. Février 2015. I took a short ferry ride from Naha to a small island off the main island of Okinawa. There was only one restaurant on the small island. I ate there, then I saw that someone had bicycles for rent in their back yard. Just a sign posted by the bicycles telling you to put the money in their mailbox. I rented one and biked around the island.
