The original "I don't know it all" of aviation.
What tips can you all give for filing an IFR flight plan when the mission is to run several different approaches at different airports?
Today, instructor and I flew the following:
Took off from KGLE
RNAV 35, circle to 17 @ 1F0, Ardmore Downtown
ILS 17, vectors, @ KGYI, North Texas Regional
RNAV 17 @ KGLE, full stop.
I filed KGLE -D-> 1F0, 3000ft. Picked that up after take off and got "as filed" from ATC with my squawk.
After a short bit, when asked what approach we desired, it was then we advised our plan for Ardmore downtown and then wanting to head over to KGYI. ATC gave us the instructions for what to do once we completed the approach at 1F0.
Did that, got back on with him as we climbed out and obtained our amended clearance to KGYI.
Rinse/Repeat out of KGYI for back to KGLE.
Had fun, learned lots, ready to do more of it!
But now I'm wondering if I could have helped be ahead of the game a bit by adding to the REMARKS section something like:
"IFR Training flight. After 1F0, do ILS17 at KYGI, then RNAV17 at KGLE"
Your thoughts?
