VFR position reporting

Mxsmanic,

Aircraft with plenty of fuel on board will often burst into flames
when they crash,


Oh? Factual support?

Why argue with his trolling? The killfile would be a lot more useful.

Thomas!! You mean that you have never seen a small airplane crash during a
television show? g Humonguous ball of flame extending hundreds of feet
into the air. Scary, until you realize that the airplane being shown has a
max fuel capacity of maybe 50 gallons.

Yes, in fact I've seen (on TV) cars explode three and four times. Especially
when they drive off a cliff.

That's real, isn't it? ;-)

What is neat is when they explode just after going off a cliff, in
midair without hitting anything. It must be magic. Or a Ford
featured in the faked news footage of some time ago.

Bob,

Oh, yeah. Sorry, I forgot.

Computers can spontaneously start electical fires- perhaps in the interests
of safety you should stop posting.

In the interest of safety I do take precautions against overheating of
components. Whether or not I post has no effect on the fire risk,
though.

As to this particular primitive question: there is no need to report
your position to anyone unless you are experiencing some problem,
regardless of whether you have flight following. This should be
obvious, and easy to understand by asking yourself, "Who would care
to know this information?"

Search and rescue teams.

Then, read up on the use of "Mayday", and Bob's your uncle.
