Yes I have an IR, yes I am rusty on IFR procedures, more so regarding the destination. Slightly ashamed I'm asking these questions but I'd rather ask than not.
All I ask for is suggested routes or nearby destinations. It's a 200nm trip, I hope for VMC all the way but sods law, it won't happen. Then what? I fly IFR all the way to Southampton as opposed to Lee-on-Solent unless people can suggest otherwise. Suggested airways or waypoints etc etc. What if it turns out to be VMC at preferred destination, i.e. Lee-on-Solent?
I've come across this in my searching. As usual many opinions but there is some consistency in what they're saying.
