Question regarding flight plans and CAT flights
Posted: Mon Oct 08, 2018 3:24 pm
I've been flying the CAT flights without credit, so I tried to change that.
I filed a flight plan for CAT-1... immediately I realized the cruising altitude was completely wrong, but didn't know how to cancel or change it... I flew the route anyway but at a different altitude as I wasn't sure what to expect. I then landed, waited a couple minutes, and exited. When I went to PEAware I didn't see any record of the flight.
I'm guessing I did a few things wrong here, and I definitely should've checked PEAware before exiting.
I have a few other questions...
1) If I file a flight plan, is there a way to correct or rescind it?
2) Once I file a flight plan, should the plan show up anywhere on PEAware? I couldn't find it when I first filed it so I'm wondering if it was filed correctly.
3) I'm flying in VR so I've just been tapping the radio 5 times to connect. As a result I haven't been checking my callsign every time. Is there any reason it would change?
4) If I feel comfortable with CAT-1 should I just jump to CAT-2 or is it recommended to go through the whole program?
