Say you file a composite flight plan you take off of a nontowered field where you normally have to call Departure on the cell for your clearance and release.
You fly VFR to the ABC VOR which is where you want the IFR portion of your flight plan to take effect.
How would you go about activating the IFR portion? Do you get a clearance and release in the air like you would normally get on the ground? Can you get the clearance by phone on the ground and then call App for the "clearance" in the air a few miles before you get to the VOR?
OR
Would it be better to Air File the entire plan with FSS then pick up the clearance and "release" from the designated App Control?
Finally if you air file or do a composite flight plan with the first part being VFR do they actually give you a "release" I mean your already in the air?
