Does ATC care one way or the other when someone copies their IFR clearance from ground or Clearance delivery? When I initially learned, I'd always obtain it after engine start up, just before I'm ready to taxi. Flying with others since however, I've learned that it's much easier just to walk out to the plane, call ATC to get the clearance ahead of time, so that when I'm ready to go, I'm not sitting there figuring out my route with the engine running and my money burning away.
What would be the time limit in doing it this way -- copying the clearance ahead of time?
Thanks
