Glad you think so!

That’s always an interesting dilemma of how much do you tell ATC when asking for flight following? I’ll usually just tell ATC my destination and leave it at that unless I have waypoints that are significantly off the direct course. If I’m going from Louisville to, let’s say Florida (not doing that Vfr, but let’s say there is a reason to) I’d tell tower I want Vfr flight following to Orlando at 7,500 with an initial heading of whatever. When I get maybe 10 miles from the point where I’m turning more west as in your example I’d let that controller know “I’ll be turning heading 190 at the ___ vor” Give the controllers what they need but don’t overload them with information they aren’t going to use. If you’re Vfr don’t expect them to pass much info onto the next controller.

@@kycsip3066 Thank you! That makes perfect sense. I appreciate the video and your response. I got my PPL last year and purchased a 182Q in August. Living the dream. I’ve been working on Instrument ground school and should be shooting my first approaches within the next few months.

That’s a great idea Greg, and I do need to get back to making videos. Your question seems to be pretty specific, maybe a bit too specific for a general audience. Reach out through my website and I’d be happy to schedule a time to get together and chat about best practices or if you’d like go on a flight and work through the specifics. Kycsip.com
