IFR & VFR queries
I hope this is the best forum for this, if not forgive me!
I have a couple of questions relating to GA/commercial non-airline flying that I've been mulling over for a couple of days and would appreciate some input....the origin of this is thinking about aerial photography/surveying type work.
1. If you departed on a VFR flight and you are instrument rated and the aeroplane is IFR equipped, and you decided that you wanted to break through some clouds, what would be the correct way to do so? File an IFR flight plan in flight? If so, what routing would you put if you were simply buzzing around on a pleasure flight? Or could you just ask for a Radar Advisory service?
2. If you wanted to undertake aerial photography work in class A airspace (ie over London), you would have to file an IFR flight plan, but what route information would you put, given that you are (presumably) going to be flying in VMC and buzzing around as if it was VFR?
Hope someone might provide some insight.
Thanks.
