Instrument departure, non-IFR airport
Recently I tried to depart from an non-tower airport that has no
instrument approach procedure, and hence no instrument departure. I was told that I could not get a clearance on the ground, even with VIFNO etc., and that I would have to depart VFR and pick my clearance up while airborne. The recommendation made to me by both TRACON and local FSDO for departing IFR with a low ceiling was to get a special VFR clearance into the towered airport 6 miles away [which has an approach and then depart IFR from there. My question is, if I take responsibility for staying away from the rocks [assume a low ceiling, above the tops of small hills, but below minimum vectoring altitude], shouln't I be able to get a clearance on the ground?
