I fly out of Northeast Philadelphia, here is my question: As a student I was told to always told to get Flight Following (and I always did) now when I would contact Philly Approach to request FF I always had a destination where I was going since I was a student. So I was able to tell Approach I am off from KPNE direct to KLNS (Lancaster) for example. Now, that I recently received my PPL say I was to simply so for a flight to take pictures over someone’s house. Well, what should I tell FF? What would be the proper way to request Flight Following since I would be taking off of KPNE flying 20 to 30 NM away then flying back? How should I word it to them? Thanx for everyone’s help
