![]() "Peter Duniho" wrote in message ... "Greg Farris" wrote in message ... Of course, I'm not sure that the question of filing or opening a flight plan is what the original poster had in mind. Pete No, it wasn't what I had in mind. I file flight plans all the time since I do a lot of IFR flying. I was asking about the pre-filing flight planning activities that people engage in. For me that activity is 90% weather. And, it has become clear to me from reading the responses in this thread that it is different in the Washington - Boston corridor. I have flown there a number of times, usually between Gaithersburg, Reading, East Hampton and Portland (cities where I have family or business) and when I do I file airways, as one other poster suggested. Maybe it is because I don't have enough knowledge of preferred routes in the area, but my experience has been that I never get what I file anyway, and that I usually get at least one or two clearances changes in route.

... [...] And, it has become clear to me from reading the responses in this thread that it is different in the Washington - Boston corridor. Most of the people haven't even said where they fly. How is that clear to you? For what it's worth, I live in the Pacific Northwest, and the bulk of my cross-country flying is done in the western states. The planning is different from that used in densely populated areas, but just as important. Pete |
