I thought that for /G there still needed to be a vor or other nav fix
in the route. I generally draw a line between the start AP and the
destination and then add a vor in the middle that doesn't increase the
distance by much. Gices me two nav checks for redundancy, too. Are
you saying that /g can be diredt between APs over several hundred miles
with no other fixs?


You don't even have to be /G. IFR flight off-airways and beyond normal
navaid distance/altitude limits just requires radar monitoring by ATC. Now,
if you're going to a rather small airport hundreds of miles away there may
be a flight data processing problem. The NAS computer serving the departure
airport may not know where the destination airport is. You can get around
that by filing a few waypoints based on H-class VORs that fall on your
route, that will also help ATC visualize the route. Or you can just file
the destination coordinates as an intermediate fix.
