Do you file I or Z (composite flight plan in the old days)? There is a note in
http://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/atpubs/fss/AppendixA.htm which is not a pub we look at very often saying that "U. S. Domestic automation systems cannot accept a flight plan that begins under VFR and subsequently changes to one or more flight rules (that is, Z). For this purpose, file separate flight plans."
The 7110 is addressed to flight service station personnel, not pilots, so I'm guessing that if one files a Y (VFR to IFR) with a change of flight rules at a designated point, the friendly LockMart folks separate the VFR from the IFR and file the separate flight plans.
Any experience out there?
