Filing direct with GPS
pgbnh wrote:
The installation of the GNS530 is complete. The learning is just begun. But since I now have equipment which allows it, what is the likelihood of receiving 'cleared as filed' if I file direct to a destination a few hundred miles away? Is this not what 'Free Flight' was supposed to be about? Is it geography dependent (I am in Northeast).? I love victor airways, but D saves time and money. Any sense of the circumstances under which 'Cleared direct' is likely to happen for all or a portiuon of a flight? Even though you may not be able to Fly direct the GPS makes going direct much easier if given. It also makes flying an airway easier if turns. no finding the next radial.... Michelle
