I'm still not clear on the exact procedure for position reports if you
are flying VFR over long distances without flight following. To whom
do you report your position, and what information should it include?
Which positions do you report and how often?


1) No one.
2) None.
3) Not ever.

Unless you are on flight following or in airspace that requires
radio contact, there is no obligation to talk to anyone.


Even Flight Following is not going to ask you for position reports, as they
already know where you're at, except on initial call up, you should provide
your approximate position. I know some people will include position when
they check-in with a controller they have been handed off to, but isn't
necessary.
