Hereby, an schematic solution for the Flight Plan is proposed:

The selected route is depicted within different Navigation Charts, including SID (PINAR2B), En-ROUTE, STAR (CASPE 1U), and Precision Approach. See Figure 13.8, Figure 13.9, Figure 13.10, Figure 13.11. Charts were accessed at AIP En-AIRE.
Requested Flight Level could be, for instance, FL300; and Cruising Speed M078.

Figure 13.12: Flight Plan Form (FAA Form 7233-4)

A Flight Plan Form has been (partially) filled in and is presented in Figure 13.12. Please, check for instance the document referred in the statement for a deeper understanding. In particular, try to figure out what is the equipment of the aircraft (e.g., S refers to standard equipment such as VHF, VOR ILS; D refers to DME equipment; etc.)

Similarly, an schematic solution for the NEST analysis is given below:

Figure 13.13: Nest: Madrid (LEMD) - Barcelona (LEBL) flights

Figure 13.13 includes top and lateral view of all flights between Madrid (LEMD) and Barcelona (LEBL) in a day.
For a finer analysis, we choose Flight IBE2770 (AIRAC 1602) on February 21 2016: EOBT was 07:10 and ETOT was 07:24; COBT and CTOT were identical to the estimated ones (in other words, no ATFM delay was enforced); AOBT was 07:08 and ATOT was 07:24 (in other words, ATC authorised Off-Block 2 minutes earlier than expected, however take-off took place exactly when expected). A difference between estimated and calculated would imply an ATFM delay. This is typically associated to a regulation (one can find flights falling in this category by simply filtering). Please, refer to Figure 13.7.c.
Aircraft was an A333, RFL was FL300, and total route length was 300,90 NM.

Route Description and Vertical Profile are presented in Figure 13.14 and Figure 13.15, respectively. Waypoints, Sectors, Altitudes, and Overflying times can be checked. Additionally, a comparison between the planned flight and the actually flown flight can be checked.
