If I want to depart Bournemouth IFR, using an IMC rating, and I want to go direct to SAM at 3000, then turn north direct to CPT, and file a flight plan:
a) Will I get a clearance to this effect before departure
b) Will I be responsible for negotiating with solent a clearance after departure, or would I be cleared to climb from Bournemouth into Solents CTA to 3000 then direct SAM, etc...
Cheers
