Now lets say I have departed an aerodrome such as Bankstown and am heading west. I am on a VFR flight plan. I discover the cloud base is such that I cannot get over the range VFR but I know on the other side of the range the sky is CAVOK. If myself and the aircraft are approved for IFR but have not submitted an IFR flight plan and are remaining in Class G airspace with no assistance required from ATC, can I fly this segment over the range IFR or do I need to turn back and submit a new plan.
Thanks for any feedback.
Why not submit an IFR flight plan , and depart vfr, with an IFR pickup if needed.
You could try submit a flight plan airborne , remaining VFR, but doubt centre controller may help.
