Most direct way of landing in uncontrolled airport within class C airspace

Asked by: 2276 views , ,
Airspace, FAA Regulations, General Aviation, Private Pilot

In this situation, I would be flying from Richmond Executive-Chesterfield (FCI) to New Kent Co (W96). What would be most direct method of reaching my destination without unnecessary radio chatter?

A few options that I know of:

Request flight following from Potomac Approach

Request transition into class C from Potomac Approach

    Just stay below 1400 and avoid the class c that goes to the ground. You won’t have to talk to anyone. That’s the most direct and easiest way without talking to anyone but the ctafs. Is this a check ride?
