For example, a pilot flying IFR in controlled airspace will have to file an IFR flight plan and receive an ATC clearance. For VFR flight, controlled airspace means increased cloud clearance and visibility requirements. It typically extends to 4,000′ AGL. ADS-B Out is also a requirement in Class A.

Additionally, a pilot should report any of the following events:: When vacating any previously assigned altitude or flight level for a newly assigned altitude or flight level ( AIM 5-3-3 ) When an altitude change will be made if operating on a clearance specifying VFR-on-top. ( AIM 5-3-3 ) When an approach has been missed. (

To log the approach toward instrument currency the flight must remain on an IFR flight plan throughout the approach and landing. the ILS approach can be credited regardless of actual weather if you are issued an IFR clearance. For any flight above an altitude of 1,200 feet AGL, when the visibility is less than 3 miles.

A pit stop at North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina (KCRE) was planned, and after a weather briefing, I filed an IFR flight plan. I queried ATC about when to expect the approach clearance and was informed that the Saratoga had appeared to land but the pilot hadn’t contacted ATC to close his IFR flight plan.

These flights work best if they are limited to an airport 10 to 15 miles away. VFR to MVFR…then 2 miles visibility and a ceiling of 1,200 feet agl. Have the learner go through a flight from start-up to shutdown using the GPS. It’s just a few minutes, right? What could go wrong? Then the CFI slowly brings the weather down.

Maybe it’s the Georgia flying weather, or maybe it’s the ever-increasing emphasis on “old” pilot instead of “bold” pilot, but it seems that flight planning these days is a lot more about if and when than about route and altitude. It’s only two hours by RV-9A, but there are gotchas lurking in the flight planning.

If the restricted area is not active and has been released to the controlling agency, the ATC facility will allow the aircraft to operate in the restricted airspace without issuing specific clearance. MTR’s with segments above 1,500′ AGL are identified by a three-digit number. SFRA flight plan.
