Route Planning
Question for folks who've done this a heck of a lot more than me.
How do you plan routes? I have a PA28-180/G that I fly. The navdata is always kept up to date so I can always file /G. Which I suppose might be the best answer here. But the vagaries of ATC, especially in the Northeast US make me wonder just how does the system work? I'd like to understand this because it can make getting my clearances a heck of a lot easier and efficient. Most of my x-ctry flights will be between 75 and say 200NM. Another difference I've noted is getting my clearance on the ground before takeoff out of KFIT (uncontrolled field) versus getting my clearance in the air while in VFR but en route. Let's say I want to fly IFR from KFIT to KBDL. I would file GDM V106 BAF BDL, if I get my clearance in the air it would be one thing, if I got it on the ground Boston Appch would have me go right turn 090 climb and maintain 4000 then hand me off. In other words, turn the wrong direction east rather than west. Then there is the whole question of TEC versus IFR Preferred Routes. Are there references available that talk about how this factors into route planning? Thanks for any and all input, KC |
