Is there such a thing as an implicit clearance into Bravo?

How do you file a clearance? You can certainly file a flight plan, and ATC can issue a clearance, but I've never heard of filing a clearance before.

AirForce One might file a clearance and I'm pretty sure Henning has experience with that.

If I had the nerve and was controlling AF1, I'd love to give them a 360 "for spacing"

What a waste of bandwidth and electrons.

Turns out when you double something for awhile it gets big quick. Who knew?

Put some money into an investment that pays compound interest, and retire a billionaire.

Aren't we being just a wee bit hyper-technical? Kind of a ronca thing to do.

I would not want anyone to think that filing an IFR flight plan somehow clears one into or through B-space. You either have a clearance or you don't, and whether or not you've filed any type of flight plan is irrelevant.

Does it make you feel better if I type out the whole "already on a filed flight plan clearance, you don't need more than one. The IFR pilot has a clearance that is associated with the flight plan that they previously filed, eceived a clearance on, and opened, therefore we're currently operating under when they approached the B airspace.
