There's no prohibition on what flight plans you file. You can file to fly B-747's at the flight levels if you really want. |

Roy,
You actually can get a squawk code for VFR flight following on the ground sometimes. I have done it at BLM enroute to FRG. Called Bradley on the ground and told them I was departing BLM to the north and wanted to transition the Bravo....could they give me a code and pass me thru..The Bradley controller took the info..called me back with radar contact after I was airborne and then passed me thru the NY Bravo to FRG no problems. I don't know if they will always do it..but what's the harm in asking. |

So a non-IR pilot can file IFR, but cannot then execute that flight plan, even if VFR conditions exist at all points of the flight? How do IR students practice approaches, etc. when they don't have the CFII aboard? With a safety pilot? |

So a non-IR pilot can file IFR, but cannot then execute that flight plan, even if VFR conditions exist at all points of the flight? Accepting a clearance without an instrument rating (and currency, and appropriate equipment, and maybe some other things) is not allowed. That's probably what you meant by "execute". How do IR students practice approaches, etc. when they don't have the CFII aboard? With a safety pilot? They practice instrument procedures under VFR. Instrument rated pilots may actually obtain an instrument clearance and do practice approaches under IFR, but if the meteorological conditions allow, instrument practice is often done VFR. |

You have to be IFR rated to accept an IFR clearance (i.e. to act as PIC under IFR). On the other hand, anybody can file an IFR flight plan. You don't need to be PIC to be a data-entry clerk. How do IR students practice approaches, etc. when they don't have the CFII aboard? With a safety pilot? If the safety pilot is capable and willing to be be PIC under IFR, they could do that. But, the answer you were probably looking for is that you can just ask for a "practice" approach: "New York Approach, Archer 25629 requests practice ILS 16 into White Plains". "Archer 25629, fly heading 180 to intercept the localizer, maintain 3000 until established, cleared ILS 16, maintain VFR at all times". |

No, it will do what Ray wants, "pre-file your VFR flight plan with DUATS so ATC already has a strip on you at initial call-up, just like with IFR." Nothing can guarantee you get flight following. This is for IR pilots only, right? A non-IR pilot cannot file an IFR flight plan, can they? You are probably OK filing the plan, but I think if you request and receive a clearance ... you are illegal. Matt |

"Dan Luke" wrote in message ... I plan to file this again for a real trip this weekend to see how the TRACON reacts. I suspect it's something they rarely, if ever, see. It won't work everywhere, some ARTCCs inhibit the processing of VFR flight plans like this to TRACONs they host. Chicago ARTCC is one, I don't know how many others there are. |
