New video features IFR flight planning tools and tips

By General Aviation News Staff · April 15, 2023 ·

The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association Air Safety Institute (ASI) has released a new video in its Beyond Proficient: IFR video series that provides tools and tips on IFR flight plan filing for pilots.

“IFR Flight Plan Filing: Tools and Tips offers practical advice on anticipating our filed IFR route clearance,” said ASI Senior Director Paul Deres. “Doing so makes things easier when copying and reading back our final assigned route clearance.”

“For example, the video provides tips for using tools that show us routes historically assigned to other aircraft between the same airports. This proactive approach to advanced route planning will enhance our awareness of what to expect in an IFR clearance while reducing how much our filed clearance may be amended,” he added.

ASI collaborated with FlightInsight to create the videos in the new series, AOPA officials noted.
