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? Why don't you just take a ground school course? It can be less expensive than an intro flight, though not nearly as much fun, but it would answer many of this type of question for you. You could even start arguing with the instructor about what s/he doesn't know about aviation and get a real interactive response. As to this particular primitive question: there is no need to report your position to anyone unless you are experiencing some problem, regardless of whether you have flight following. This should be obvious, and easy to understand by asking yourself, "Who would care to know this information?" Neil |
