Departing early on a VFR flight plan
So, I thought (think) I can leave up to an hour before the time filed, and up to an hour after. A two hour window.
At Brussels this morning, I wanted to depart 40 minutes ahead of schedule (how often does that happen??!!) and got a the controller (Ground) telling me I had to wait 40 minutes. I explained my understanding of the rules, and he told me "no, from time you have filed until +30 minutes".
So - who's right? Question is for Belgium, but actually would be interested to hear if it's not internationally standard...
Cheers, Sam.
