ForeFlight Webinar: Filing a DC SFRA Flight Plan

[@johnsnyder6646]

Learned a lot from the video, new user of the SFRA and ForeFlight. Thanks!

Ok foreflight, With just a little programming ingenuity you could have extracted the gates automatically from the full route and generated a filing for the SFRA segment and, optionally, a regular vfr plan for the remaining route. What you did was a bit bland. Kick it up a notch ;)

Scott, is there a way to get blank copies of the international flight plan blank form?

[@ibgarrett]

My question is can you file consecutive VFR FF plans to stack them up against one another. In other words, 1 flight following plan to the gate, 2 FF plan entering the gate 3 FF plan exiting the gate and 4, a FF plan after exiting the gate. And then have ATC just handle your flow flying 1 - 4? Or do I have to terminate FF on the VFR flight plan at the gate and pick the new one up? Just trying to determine how granular the flight plan needs to be.

BRV to PALEO @055 is cutting through BRAVO. Are you given CLEARANCE INTO BRAVO by filing The DCSFRA plan

[@W62315]

No, you are not cleared into the Bravo (unless you're 1NR). But that route is also possible under the 1500' shelf.

Practical and helpful…

Rob, Where did you attend Aircraft Dispatcher School? Can it be done online?

[@foreflight]

Rob went to Sheffield for his dispatcher training ("The smartest move in my aviation career!" he says). He thinks they may offer a partial online course.

Thank you!!!

So I am looking to file a flight plan from KGMU -> KGAI.... I would first file a VFR flight plan from KGMU to LUCKE via KOKV. Then file a separate flight plan from LUCKE to KGAI, correct? I would want to cross LUCKE below the Class Bravo at probably 2,800 MSL - and be at that altitude before reaching the Class Bravo - or do you recommend requesting clearance to fly in the Class Bravo at 3,500 to be safe? Then on the return flight, you would file a DC SFRA flight plan from KGAI to LUCKE, then VFR flight plan from LUCKE to KGMU?...

[@asho1735]

I believe you are correct. Consider Dulles east downwind VFR transition (between IAD and the FRZ). You can find waypoints on the internets. You will be cleared through bravo for that route
