To the OP: Since you're using Foreflight, if you desire to read/hear the words "cleared as filled" then learn to use the Suggested Routes feature. Pick one that matches the type of aircraft you fly (eg turboprop, piston etc) and file. Goes straight through, like corn through a cow.

**** Amazon with a rusty chainsaw. Until very recently I was a prime member and ordered lots of stuff from them. A week ago I received a notice of suspicious charges from my bank. I compared my purchases over the past 90 days to my credit card statement and sure enough there were several...

So just make an Android version of that. Instant success.

Remove the ramps. Possibly they'll find them in the dumpster later.
