It is legal to legal to fly IFR as long as the required equipment is
on board, and the pilot is appropriately rated, and current, etc.,
etc., etc.


It is illegal to fly IFR =without= the required equipment on board.

It is illegal to fly IFR with only a tuna sandwich for navigation.

If you =do= have the required navigation equipment on board (which
generally means VOR, GPS, and/or INS), you may consult the tuna sandwich
all you want.

End of problem.

but I really wonder why you went to all the trouble.

Because the way you prefer to word it contains an implication that is
not true, and you like to dodge it.

Moot point. An off-airways clearance beyond usable navaid limits is not
available in a nonradar environment.


Certainly it is. I get it all the time, on almost every flight. Radar, and
in fact radio communications, doesn't extend to most of my destinations. And
there are hundreds, often thousands, of flights daily in the Gulf of Mexico,
many of them IFR. I commonly get 'direct'.

Non-radar routes don't have to be on Airways but "beyond usable navaid
limits" is the operative clause in this case.

Those limits may be the standard ones listed in AIM 1-1-8 or they may be
expanded ones authorized by FAAO 7110.65 4-1-2b.

Your clearance and separation apply only to those portions within controlled
airspace.

No controller who knows what he's doing clears a /A or /U direct FUBAR
when FUBAR is outside the service volume of the navaid.



How could FUBAR be "outside the service volume of the navaid"?

It's an intersection.

An intersection defined by the 015 radial off the Phoenix VOR and 22 DME.
