    Nah, just one approach to that airport.

    IFR practice approach departure procedure

    Mm, kinda, kinda not. I didn’t want to land because I thought that’s where I had to pick up my next clearance.. but that’s not relevant. Let me phrase it like this.. you are on an IFR flight plan to do practice approaches. However, there is not a cloud in the sky. Controller clears you for an...

    Cool. So how is that different than ATC clearing me for an approach at a non towered airport stop-and-go and then departing VFR until I make contact with them and then continue with IFR instructions?

    IFR practice approach departure procedure

    So let me ask it a different way.. can I not take off IFR from a non towered airport?? Pretty sure I can. All I have to do is climb and maintain obstacle clearance until I get in contact w ATC.. how is this any different?

    When you say, "climbout instructions" are you referring to missed approach instructions? Or departure instructions? If the latter, or both, what requires them to give me departure instructions?

    Do they have to though? I don't see why they would need to. If it's VMC weather, and you're landing at a nontowered airport in uncontrolled airspace, they can clear you for the approach to a stop and go, and then just pick you up on departure. Really, it's no different than filing IFR from a...

    4−3−21. Practice Instrument Approaches b. Before practicing an instrument approach, pilots should inform the approach control facility or the tower of the type of practice approach they desire to make and how they intend to terminate it, i.e., full−stop landing, touch−and−go, or missed or low...

    Yeah, I assumed as much. I mean, if it was crappy weather, I would definitely have queried them prior to landing on how they wanted me to get out of there.

    Does it though? If it's IMC, I could understand that. But does an ATC facility need to give me departure procedures if it's VFR? Even though I am staying on an IFR flight plan..

    IFR practice approach departure procedure

    But just to nail this coffin down.. let's suppose the scenario was IFR at the field- say 300 foot ceilings.. you wouldn't very well be expected to take off and just fly around til you get in contact with ATC. Would they not give you that option and make you call GCO? Or would they give you...

    Sorry, Instrument Examiner.. army lingo for CFII

    IFR practice approach departure procedure

    Yeah, I didn't think it was a big deal, but my IE got all weird about it.
  13. C

    IFR practice approach departure procedure

    Yeah, it was just kind of weird because I had one flight plan terminating at that airport and then a second flight plan initiating at that airport. So it's a bit weird to not actually have a clearance and I'm just flying around as I please on a terminated IFR plan.

    IFR practice approach departure procedure

    So I had this happen to me today- ATC clears me for an instrument approach to a nontowered airport, and I say I'm going to do a stop-and-go with momentary delay, and then I'll get my clearance on the ground from GCO. They tell me not to worry about it and just get back with them on the go...
