Another post here got me thinking…Someone or somewhere I was told to file AT LEAST 30 minutes before picking up my IFR clearance (obviously not talking about a pop up clearance). I seem to remember that whenever you file, there needs to be time for your flight plan to work its way into the system…and I’ve always done it this way.
But now I’m wondering if this is really true. Do you need to wait, or is this an OWT like waiting 30 minutes after eating to swim? What’s the soonest you’ve picked up a clearance after filing?
