'Tis also a point that per AIM, one is actually supposed to begin and end the direct portion of the flight over a ground based navaid, and include at least one waypoint defining the route for each ARTCC -- I presume due to the limitations of the ATC computers. I just talked to local FSS (Green Bay), and they say that filing direct...KISW (Wisconsin Rapids) to KHEF (Manassas, VA) is an acceptable route. The end points have ground reference NAVAIDs. But, at least Green Bay does not think I would require intermediate waypoints. I wonder if the AIM guidance is out of date? Besides, how does one find out where the limits of the ARTCC's are....look for the scraggly lines in the Enroute IFR charts? What if your direct flight does not happen to go through a NAVAID in an ARTCC? -Sami |

That's true as long as the Minneapolis Center computer has KHEF stored, that may not be the case. The end points have ground reference NAVAIDs. But, at least Green Bay does not think I would require intermediate waypoints. I wonder if the AIM guidance is out of date? Besides, how does one find out where the limits of the ARTCC's are....look for the scraggly lines in the Enroute IFR charts? Bingo. What if your direct flight does not happen to go through a NAVAID in an ARTCC? All that matters is that each ARTCC computer recognizes the fixes it's asked to process. It doesn't matter if those fixes are navaids, airports, or intersections. |

writes: I have this urge to try to protect my plane so it can fly again ..I would probably choose a gear up landing also if I had to ditch in the desert, that way the tires dont catch the rocks and hopefully not flip the plane. Bu tthis also assumes I am not over a mountain which are plentiful. But I think most of the desert would be safer then tree's or tree stumps. Careful with that Idea that you want to protect the plane to fly again. Much better to protect you and passengers to fly again. I attended a "How to crash you plane and survive" lecture some years ago. I remember he said that if you stop the passanger capsule in 20 ft (or more) the passengers (with sholder belt) will probably have only minor injuries. So how do you do that? One, the plane belongs to the insurance company, don't try to save it. Find something that will hit the wings before the wheels touch the ground. Small trees (not head on) or bushes, a field of full grown corn, etc. Get the cabin slowed down by the wings and YOUR chances improve. I'm not sure that I would be smart enough to do this since the urge to land as normal as possible is intutive but then surviving is not always intutive (smoking, drinking, couch potatoes, etc.).
