VFR Flight Plan Other Than Direct
Asked by: Rick Owens 5229 views FAA Regulations, General Aviation, Student Pilot
When filing a VFR flight plan, "direct" is usually the easiest and default routing that people use.
When traversing a body of water, mountaineous regions, or just want to go out of the way, how do you write that in the routing of the flight plan (assuming that there are no nearby airports, navaids, fixes, etc)?
I believe I read that you can use a VOR DME point, latitude and longitude, but what is the shorthand for writing that on a flight plan form? Can you use visual checkpoints such as a power plant, lake, stadium?
Thanks
