Vicinity Flight Filing Service
abripl wrote:
I am just in last few hours of flight testing. Most of the time I spend within 30 miles of my airport. My wife keeps a loose tab of where I am but sometimes she is away. I wished there was a service where I can just tell someone I'll be up for an hour or so and if not back look for me - especially in this rural area where hardly anybody would notice if a plane went down. How do others handle this? ================================================== = SQ2000 canard: http://www.abri.com/sq2000 SMS Text Messaging on cellphones, email, voicemail, an answering machine with remote access... Flight following and Flight Service are air to ground and ground to air contacts... Post-It-Notes... |

How do others handle this? Uh, I thought that was what the Flight Service Station and the flight-plan system was for. If you just call for a weather briefing, they'll ask you for your tail number and a rough idea of what you're doing -- just in case. Your tax tollars at work! (Provided you're in the US, anyway). -Luke |
