Line Up and Wait
I'm Looking to pick up an IFR clearance on V112 as I come from the Lake Pend Oreille area. Due to the MEA's and possible icing over the Montana/Idaho mountins, I'm looking to cross the Montana/Idaho mountains VFR following the Clark Fork River basin instead and pick up IFR where MEA's are 7000 ft or less.
So, suppose I get to near Deer Park and say the ceiling was at 6,000 MSL, and I am at 5000, how would I best pick up a clearance to climb to 7000/8000 ft to intersect V112? Do I call for a pop up, or can I file even though my take off would have been an hour earlier?
Any other better ways or routes to pick up IFR in this area to keep MEA's at 7000 or less beginning from the Sandpoint area? Heading to Eugene Oregon with some rain along the way and destination and need to stay below the icing levels...
