Flight plans? You betcha! Altho the cherokee is IFR legal, I'm not. So any
trip more than 60 min or so I've got Plan B, Plan C, Plan D, etc. I don't worry so much about winds but mountains, MOAs, TFRs, etc. are big time issues out here in the Timezone-Everyone-Forgets-About (mountain). I don't want to be fiddling with charts and such if something happens. So I've got the list of airport freqs that I'll be flying over on a sheet clipped to the yoke. And the charts for any airport that I may need in an emergency really handy. Much easier to monitor local traffic that way. It means changing freqs all the time, but that's good practice. One radio stays tuned to 121.5, of course.... Flight planning with winds, times, fuel, etc? Not really. Since the body really doesn't like being in the seat more than a couple hours or so, I'm not worried about that stuff. Hence my flight planning is more emergency planning rather than flight planning. And FSS for weather, NOTAMs and TFRs, of course. Unfortunately, the local newspaper is more current with TFRs and NOTAMs - not official ones, of course. For example, publicity about VP or Pres trips starts long before the official TFR is published. |
