Force joins search for missing Helena airplane and pilot
BY MARTIN J. KIDSTON
Independent Record

MacPherson said Imeson had not filed a flight plan before leaving
Bozeman on Tuesday afternoon. Montana pilots only need to do so if
traveling more than 250 nautical miles.

Can someone verify that this is true? Where is Newps when you need him?

Thanks,

Since when are VFR flight plans required for ANY trip length. The
reporter is (as usually they are) confused.

Thanks, I thought I had blinked and we were now doing some type of Canadian
rules.
