1. Say one is departing an untowered airport, having filed a flight plan in foreflight (on the ground, pre-departure) as z(vfr to ifr). Is there a way to specify at what fix, waypoint, or VOR to pick up the IFR clearance in Foreflight when filing the flight plan, or do you just contact departure upon reaching an appropriate altitude or area?
2. I'm seeing people who will start the flight plan at the fix at which they pick up the clearance. Do I file the flight plan including the departure airport and contact departure upon reaching an appropriate altitude/fix, or file it starting with the point I pick up the clearance?
