I'm planning to fly from Boston to Key West next month
with a stop near Bethesda on the way down and in Charlotte on the way back. I'll need/want to make some additional stops along the way, of course. This is a longer flight than I have made before and much of it will be through states I have not flown in before. So, I have a bunch of questions: 1) What do people like to use for flight planning for something like this? Laying multiple sectionals on the floor next to each other seems a bit painful. Is Aeroplanner a good choice? If so, is the basic Aeroplanner the right level for this kind of thing? 2) I'm thinking of flying to Tipton (FME) to get near Bethesda. Anyone have opinions on this airport? GAI seems to have gotten a lot of negative comments on AirNav, though if the weather is bad I'll probably go there instead. (I miss being able to fly into College Park!) 3) If I fly into the Washington ADIZ IFR, can I cancel in the air when I have the airport, or do I need to cancel on the ground? How does switching over to the CTAF work if I'm supposed to be maintaining communications with ATC while in the ADIZ? 4) I'm thinking about stopping at North Myrtle Beach (CRE) for a fuel stop in at least one direction (nice comments on AirNav). Anyone else have comments? 5) Is there an airport about 300 miles north of Key West that would make a good place to stop for fuel/food? (I'm trying to keep legs to about 300 nm each so that I'm only flying about 2 hours before stopping, since my wife won't tolerate being in the plane much longer than that -- plane cruises at about 155 knots). Any additional comments/suggestions will be appreciated! -- David -- David Rind |
