Line Up and Wait
Training today at home using the 430 simulator with a virtual flight from John Tune Nashville (KJWN) to Tuscaloosa (KTCL). Will likely make the actual flight there next week for the Bama vs LSU football game.
My fpl is KJWN- KLUG- (V49) DCU - (V49) VUZ - TCL direct. While I plan to file VFR (need IFR IPC) I fly following the V-airways from KLUG until VUZ. This adds ~20 miles to the trip vice KLWN-KTCL direct. For the sake of safety, does it make sense? I guess its one risk tolerance.
But how do you fly? Do you tend to go direct on a ~200nm flight? Or add waypoints like I have done to better track your progress on a sectional, and have reasonably closer diverts if needed.
Thanks for your input in advance
