Hi guys, I´m a newbie Swedish GA pilot who has never filed a flightplan with ATC. At most I´ve called ATC in the air to make a request to remain at a certain altitude prior to entering class C airspace.
Anyway, after trying to read through AIPs and whatnot I have two questions.
1. If I file a flightplan with a number of waypoints, how much am I allowed to stray from the direct line between two waypoints? The scenario is that it´s a lot easier to navigate by for instance following a road than trying to fly a compass heading which is at best inprecise, the compass that is. Since we don´t have any sort of "Flight following" that I know of in Sweden I wan´t the safety and support given by ATC coupled with the ease of navigating by landmarks as opposed to using a compass. I´m flying ULs with no radio nav equipment.
2. If my filed flightplan enters class G at one or more stretches, will ATC "drop" me or will my flight be controlled even if I´m in uncontrolled airspace?
Hope I´m making some sense.
