How to get IFR Clearance enroute?
What are the recommended procedures in obtaining an IFR clearance
enroute? Flying from NJ to FL, I prefer to fly VFR, but undoubtedly I will encounter IMC along the way. If I filed IFR in advance, it takes 1/2 hour or more to clear it through ATC. I obviously cannot wait 1/2 hour if I encounter IMC enroute. Is there an "acceptable" procedure enroute if I start seeing a cumulus build-up in front of me? Do I have to land and file? Do I file with FSS and wait 1/2 hour before I open with Center? Can I file directly with Center? Is this idea generally "frowned upon" by ATC? I'm not necessarily looking for regulations as I am for practical experiences that others have witnessed. Thanks for any tips. Stimbo Medford, NJ |
