Maintaining awareness of airspace boundaries helps with the planning and carrying out of successful flights. Give ATC a brief but informative transmission with the following information: The kind and tail number of the aircraft. Sometimes the sectional chart has information to call when 20 NM from the airport.

This was another satisfying trip, full of ADM, IMSAFE, and trade-offs—and weather. Photo: Ed Wischmeyer] Then came perhaps the most satisfying leg of the flight. The weather was… interesting. Fussing with the avionics to keep tabs on the weather gave many more knob touches than the airplane itself. Lesson learned.

Due to eCDM (Collaboraborative Decision Making) implementation, departure slots have 0 minutes tolerance, and flight plans must match. What needs to be added to remarks section 18 of the flight plan is the chosen handling agent and the FBO used by that handling agent, for example, HANDLING BY UNIVERSAL/FBO1-SFM.

To review, flying an IFR trip involves four main steps: File a flight plan (either with Flight Service or in an aviation app). Tell them your tail number, where you are, and the IFR flight plan you’d like to open. However, this procedure should only be used when both the weather and terrain are favorable.

The day before we left, I had already worked the flight plan dozens of times, looking for potential pitfalls and hiccups. I called LaGuardia tower and gave it my plan then was cleared into the New York Bravo airspace at 1,300 feet. Taking the train back to Linden, we preflighted, untied, and filed our flight plan on ForeFlight.

There were a good number of shops to explore while waiting for your flight departure. I did a check of my flight, it was arriving after 2 hours and 14 minutes in the air. The aircraft was flying with the help of the tail wind that's why the flight is shorter than the flight back to Taipei Songshan.

Once the PPR is approved, you will receive a confirmation ID, which will be your tail number and date of operation. Confirmation reference does not need to be placed in flight planning remarks. This confirmation number is the tail number plus the date of operation (e.g., NXXXdatemonth).

In order to reach College Park, pilots must receive specific training from the FAA, undergo vetting by the TSA to earn a personal identification number (PIN) necessary to authorize flight plans within the FRZ, and follow the unique and specific rules for operating into and out of the FRZ. If that sounds intimidating, it is.

Both invoke traditional assumptions about V-tails, and even vintage Bonanza lovers like me acknowledge there is at least a grain or two of truth in each.
