Line Up and Wait
In planning a flight from KEUG in Oregon to KGPI in Montana, suppose the following weather:
Willamette valley overcast at 2000 MSL. Partly sunny East of the Cascades to Spokane. And, from Spokane to KGPI there are ceilings of about 9000 MSL and scattered precip. Say the freezing level is 8000 MSL
It looks like one could easily go IFR from KEUG via V23, V112-182, V520, V204 at 7000 MSL or less but can not cross the mountains from Spokane to KGPI without potential icing at the MEA's of 12 to 13K.
So, my questions are
1) What would be proper procedure to file a composite flight plan where it was to be IFR from KEUG via the routing above to Spokane, then drop down to VFR and continue on to KGPI VFR?
2) If you can, how can you file a composite flight plan like this via ForeFlight?
3) Is a composite flight plan the most appropriate for this or is there a better plan for a flight in such conditions?
