I had completed Flight AJ8864 MIA to KIN. I had used FS NAV to calculate the way points using SIDS and STARS. Upon submitting the report the window said the flight should only take .6 hours. The Flight had actually taken 1.5 hours. Is the schedule correct or was my flight plan incorrect?

Calvin,

The schedule for the PIREP database is not correct. The staff does not pay attention to the flight parameters set by the system.

I did a flight from JFK to MBJ and the system said the flight should take 2.2 hours. Heck even the Delta schedule shows it as 4.5 hours. So don't worry about that information.
