I never bothered with VFR flight plans personally, I just got flight following. Only if i were going somwhere where i couldnt stay in ATC contact would i bother with a VFR flight plan (mountains, areas of poor VHF reception, water, etc) |
At this point in my training. It is considered good practice to file. I will be doing the flight following as well hear shortly. I just haven;t had experience with Center yet. But this is working towards my INS rating, and I am getting acquainted with the full ATC system while doing some XC time building. Thanks for the suggestions though I do appreciate the feedback.
