Default IFR flight plan with multiple stops

"Andrew Sarangan" wrote in
You file a flight
plan with a 'through stop' (I am not sure of the exact term). The same
article also mentioned that ATC will not normally approve these stops
except at remote airports where other IFR traffic is less likely.


It's called a "pass through" clearance. I did this once and it worked
great, but I landed in podunct MS for fuel and the frequency traffic was
quiet.

I had filed to seperate plans for each leg. As I got closer to my
intermediary stop, I asked center if they had my next flight plan in the
system.

After confirming they did, I asked if they could give me a pass through
clearance for fuel stop.

My request was approved with a void time, clearance void if not off in....
I kept my squawk, got my fuel and launched back up in the blue wild yonder
and recontacted center.

Worked great for me the one time I used it. I have requested it on other
occaisions and I got "unable" so it's clearly a workload consideration and
controller choice.
