our local flight school rental agency requires flight plans on file with
them for any cross country outside the immediate valley.. DUATS is great for
that.. make two printouts.

I'm kind of curious - does anyone with more than 100 hours do a flight
plan, with winds and all, before they fly cross country? Most of my
planning is of the fuel stop, or occasionally detour for weather variety -
but it is rare for me to include more than one or two waypoints in my
"plan", and I almost never file an airway, even when I file ifr. Maybe
it's because I live in the west. A typical flight plan will be Longmont -
Amarillo - Austin, or if the winds are good, Longmont - Austin. What do
others do?
