Clearance with an Odd Intersection

I did review them but I concentrated on the GPS 33 considering the winds
were 310. To be honest, I didn't think I needed to scour the approach charts
to verify my enroute clearance. Besides, the routing as mapped out on the
GPS verified that it was not a "route-to-nowhere" which is why I took off. I
also had another intersection in mind right next to it (BOROS) that was on
the enroute charts that I can follow if there was a mistake.

Regardless, I agree with your advice that one should know their entire route
clearance before departure.

Sounds like we would have spent quite a bit of time looking. Well, if I
have
to spread out my IAP charts, then I will. *sigh*


Something everyone should do before every instrument flight.

Here's some advice. Never launch on a clearance you have not
thoroughly reviewed for accuracy, fix by fix, right to the ground.

That way, you won't find yourself airborne reworking your clearance to
nowhere out with a controller (assuming your radio is working at the
time).
