8 Route of flight: CMK V3 HFD IJD/D0+05 HFD V3 CMK 4104/07342
Phone no.:

and the computer accepted it. The "IJD/D0+05" means "delay for 5
minutes at IJD". I suppose for a touch-and-go, I could have made it
"IJD/D0+01".


Now there's an arcane little tidbit. :-)

I assume D is for Delay, and 0+05 is H+MM?


Exactly.

I never knew how to file for a through clearance other than in remarks.


Neither did I before this morning :-) I did the old "ask the computer"
thing. Go into DUATs and select "be prompted for a flight plan".
When you get to the Route: prompt, type a "?" and follow the
instructions.

It remains to be seen what would happen if I actually asked for my
clearance. Just because DUAT accepts it, doesn't mean ATC won't
barf. I think I'll try it for real the next time I'm on an IFR
training flight and see how it goes.
