Yup. But that could be a long way from where you actually went down.

From a safety standpoint, the more visible you are to others,
including ATC, the better off you are if something goes wrong.


A VFR Flight plan doesn't do more to improve your visibility with ACT except
to inlude a name, contact phone number, and aircraft color.

They will certainly know where to look if you crash.


If I crash, the game is over.


This is different than in real life.
