I had to file for mine, and the DE I used in TX had my students file as well. He always cancelled the flight plan after shooting the approaches. There are a lot of DEs out there that want to know you can file a flight plan. Believe me, I've seen plenty of IFR rated pilots that couldn't call 1800WXBRIEF and file without the AOPA flight planner to do it for them.

I used to teach arcs the same way Lloyd did. Had a few students say "Huh? You can DO that?" the first few times I did it. Same DE in TX would make up an arc as part of the checkride, too.
