How to file IFR flight plan in the air

- We have all heard of “pop-up” IFR flight plans, but what happens when ATC is too busy and can’t give you one? You may know How to file an IFR flight plan. However, in this week’s video, I show you How to file an IFR flight plan in the air. I have needed to use this when I was above a scattered cloud layer that had become broken and overcast at my destination. I could have started down early, but I wanted to stay at altitude for as long as I could. ATC was too busy for a pop-up IFR and I had to use this tip to make it to my destination. Also in this Episode, an early mentor of mine is awarded the Charles E. Taylor award from the FAA. -TFS

I pay for my own brakes. If I want to use the ENTIRE runway to land... I'm using the ENTIRE runway to land! Great video as always!
Thanks @boogerwood! I am not afraid to use runway for the sake of a smooth landing. That said, every so often I want to make sure I still got "it". Thanks for coming along!
Absolutely amazing! Thank you! I believe you would make an excellent CFII.
Thanks so much! For now I have to settle with sharing some of the things I wish I had known 20 years ago. Thanks for coming along. -TFS
Great video....thanks so much for walking us through that. Theoretically I knew how to do that, but have never actually done it. So much easier once you have seen it done by someone else . Thanks again!! DiamondEYZ
Glad it was helpful!
That was amazing amazing! I have never seen that done before. Thank you so much for sharing! Very helpful.
Thanks @@RusscanFLY I appreciate you coming along. Will you be at OSH?
@@TheFlyingSalesman I would like to, but I hadn’t started my planning since I just purchased my own airplane. So I think I may hold off until next year!
Great Video! I am an IFR student. I clicked Subscribe
Fantastic, thanks for coming along. What aircraft and avionics are you using in your training?
Another great video! My new favorite channel. Will check in with you in Hangar A. Fly safe.
Perfect! I want to hear more about your RV.
Great and very informative video, sir! Thanks for sharing!

@@TheFlyingSalesman , very timely as I’m in the throes of my IR checkride prep. Very much appreciated!!
Nice! When I flew out of PBF its runways were 17/35. Never knew they changed them.
Magnetic north is constantly changing and each airport has to adjust runway headings once they are too far out of spec. Here is most likely WAY MORE detail than you were looking for... www.ncei.noaa.gov/news/airport-runway-names-shift-magnetic-field
Thanks again 👍🏽
You bet! I appreciate you sticking with me.
I remember doing this once years ago. I'll be working when air venture is on.
@@747FoSophie I have only needed it once myself, but when I needed it, I was glad I had the knowledge.
@@TheFlyingSalesman We did it for the same reason, weather.
Very nice video on an important topic. As you mentioned early in the video, one option is to (1) request of Approach/Center a pop-up IFR clearance to destination. Downside of this, especially in busy airspace is the dreaded "unable (I'm too busy)". The option you demonstrate is (2) going off frequency to radio FSS and request for them to prepare and behind-the-scenes file, receive confirmaton from ATC. Downside is the off-frequency time (likely several minutes), which can be quite nerve-wracking, especially in high traffic areas. The option I prefer is demonstrated in the video linked below at 12:02 and is to (3) electronically file an IFR flight plan in-the-air from ForeFlight using my cell phone and then simply request of Approach/Center (at 13:55 in the video below) to pick up that clearance. I've had this work many many times even at 10,000+ AGL... after all, it's effectively a simple text message from ForeFlight to ATC (i.e. bypassing FSS). The upside is zero time off-frequency with Approach/Center. Wayne (DA40 KSBA)

@@GeezerGeekPilot I will check that out. It’s interesting you have such reliable service. Unless I am right over a major metro area, I cannot send/receive texts. Thanks for coming along. Will you be at Oshkosh?
@@TheFlyingSalesman, let me know how option (3) works for you. I expect ForeFlight tries a number of times to connect and send its short message. I'll not be at Oshkosh (not a fan of crowds 🙂). Keep up the good work on the videos.
@@TheFlyingSalesman, BTW, kudos to your friend and mentor Dickie... what an honor. Wayne
Excellent practical videos. Thank you.
Glad you like them! I appreciate you coming along.
Matt, very informative video, thanks for sharing, you are the consummate pilot.
@@billgalante1181 thank you sir!
Another excellent video. Good review on filing in route with Flight Service. Thanks 👍👍
Thanks again!
Great video with IFR procedures. Only tweak I would offer is the music at the takeoff sequence was a bit loud and distracting. Occasionally we hear music for a video intro title sequence, but I feel it doesn't add anything during the body of the video.
@@Brianflys I will keep that in mind. I appreciate the feedback.
I bet you never thought you'd hear this "a little less right rudder". Sorry couldn't help myself. On a serious note file on the ground (ipad) but leave it in filed status, when you hit your area for IFR, pick it up with a current location. Works so much better and way faster since its already holding in the system.
@@Twizlair great tip! I will remember that. The intent of this is for those times when you get caught off guard. I like your plan though, I can see multiple scenarios where it can be used.
@@TheFlyingSalesman 100% agree with intent of this video, and the info to file inflight was 100%, just cumbersome. Keep the greasy side down.
