Another question then: I am planning to fly from PVD Providence RI to
Madison MSN on 24/25th July. The backend on the route was to be MKG
(Muskegon), BAE (Badger) and MSN. Is it likely then that I will not get
cleared IFR through to MSN and if wanted to follow that route would be
best to cancel IFR and go VFR weather permitting even getting a pop up
clearance at MSN to descend through cloud?


There's no problem at all with that route. It takes you through
Milwaukee
approach, not Chicago approach. MKG.V2.SUDDS is a standard arrival
route
so you're going with the flow.


There is with the "pop up" though if you want to use it to file for a
descent into OSH during the flyin. I think the limit last year was
150 miles out for a pop up.

Get a copy of the NOTAMs for the fly-in if that is where you are
headed. It's a whole different ball game starting 3 days prior to the
start of the fly-in.


I am not going to OSH, just making my way from IAG to MSN and was wanting to
make sure that the routing would not be affected by OSH bound traffic.
