VFR flight plans

I'm just saying that I don't fly around that low, out of radar coverage if I can help it. I don't fly around without talking at ATC for extended periods of time. Then again, I am the guy that will file IFR for a 25-mile trip across the BNA Class C, just so that they can't ignore me....

See, so you must agree there's nothing wrong with being a little conservative. In keeping with a conservative attitude, maybe you'd agree that if one were to fly where they can't get radar or comm it might be a good idea to file VFR?

But maybe that's just me.

I agree 100%! I just can't think that way because I don't fly anyplace where I can't get radar coverage...

Really, I think we're all saying the same thing. If you're flying someplace where the only way people know you're alive is via a VFR flight plan, then use it - without a doubt.

However, if you're flying from Charlotte to Norfolk in a 172, you're making life harder on yourself by not getting flight following. . .
