Flight plans???
It seems the only pilots who might not file flight plans would be drug smugglers.
That can’t be right/s
Which in this administration is likely to be one and the same.
Wrong. No flight plan is required in the US for almost all VFR flights.
All pilots have to file flight plans. What previously was available was the ability to block the flight plan from being released to the public. Obummer’s administration is now removing that option.
sodpoodle,
I live on a private airpark.
I fly out of my back yard to all over the country and unless I plan on going in to a “control tower or Military opps area I NEVER file a flight plan and try to NOT talk to anyone. Before I go I check weather, and for notices to airmen so I don’t fly over this damned president.
AND I do NOT smuggle nor use drugs.
What I and countless pilots do is legal and safe.
