I should've said once i contact atc, i only get the notified route about 50% of the time. As far as i can tell, the notification services seem reliable and yes there seems to be some sorta 30 min limit. it could be just my bad luck but i've only received "as filed" like twice in 5 years

they've been sending the amendments Guessing, i probably only get the notified routes 50% of the time

Yes, they do. Honestly, until you asked i'd never bothered to read them as i get the updates via Garmin PIlot / Foreflight

when i go to sell my plane, you can bring your A&P or get it inspected by any mechanic on field, after experiencing maintenance/ownership there's no way i'm gonna risk birdy being stuck somewhere. this is exactly what i did when i purchased it, i paid a shop on the other side of the sellers...

people love getting, it's the paying they have issues with

how about putting a beacon on top of all the cell towers, functioning sim to gps. or hurry up and turn ELoran back on

Nothing to prepare, get a map, plan a route, check weather then go 8). Only issues, if a large B/C keep the airport diagram close. USE flight following
