Once the rain relented, we staggered our departures and called for our IFR clearances on the ground. Despite those ground clearances, we found that the ceiling above our home airport was high enough to accommodate VFR departures with airborne clearances.

So, for example, if you are asked to provide a scenario when V X is appropriate, be able to answer the when and the why, such as “short field takeoff technique is appropriate when there is an obstacle off the departure end of the runway.” Chapter 3 in the AIM has details on dimensions of airspace, cloud clearances, and visibility.

I called the clearance delivery number on the OXB NOTAM but they gave me another number to call. I could not get my Bluetooth headset to connect so the I tucked the iPhone up under my ear seal and picked up my clearance and release. I decided to depart VFR and pick up my clearance in the air if I needed it. It’s good to be home!

After warming the oil I taxied for runway two and picked up my super secret squawk code to get out with the TFR in place. As we approached Barrett’s Mountain VOR you could make out the mountains ahead. I contacted Asheville ground to pick up my clearance but it was not on file. That’s odd.

When I contacted Rochester Approach, the controller came back with, "Are you looking for your clearance to College Park?" I answered in the affirmative, received my clearance, and was given a climb to 6,000 feet as the rain streaked over my windscreen. Emerging from the clouds on reaching the Finger Lakes. Welcome to College Park!"

Even though I was likely to be cleared through the outer ring by ATC (air traffic control) while on an instrument flight plan, I filed a route from Sodus to the Williamsport VOR (FQM) that circumvented the TFR entirely. The reroute was minimal, an insertion of Yardley VOR (ARD) into my flight plan. Runway and raindrops.

We made an IFR departure that morning on runway 16 and climbed above the ceiling in short order. We were assigned a slightly ridiculous alteration to the route I filed: MANCH T316 LAMMS T608 ROC that had us flying past Sodus to the Rochester VOR before setting up for Sodus.

Long story short, when I received my clearance that evening, it was to my originally intended BELTS waypoint.) We were cleared direct to College Park via the Westminster VOR (EMI). We reunited with Simon before making our cellphone calls to Potomac for departure clearances. Tough room. Susquehanna River near Harrisburg, PA.

Since then, the former airbase has seen its runways either truncated (9-27), deleted (15-33), or transformed into taxiways (4-22). Today, it is home to the Canada Aviation and Space Museum (CASM, part of the broader Ingenium collection of museums in Ottawa) housed within a 1988 facility built along former runway 22 (taxiway D).

In a prior telephone conversation with the Rockliffe Flying Club, I was assured that I could pick up my IFR clearance in the air from Ottawa Terminal and planned to do exactly that. I taxied to the departure end of runway 27, ran-up the airplane, and broke ground exactly at 3:00 pm as planned.
