Yesterday I had a job to fly several fseconomy passengers from KNSI to KSAN and KMYF. KSAN and KMYF are a few miles apart under their Bravo and Delta air spaces, respectively. I did the KNSI-KSAN leg by picking up VFR FF in the air. It went well. Once offloading a few passengers at KSAN, I had no idea how to plan the KSAN-KMYF leg in PE. I disconnected PE and did it offline in a 5 minute VFR.

If I plan for a short IFR flight, I don't want to file a SID, fly thirty miles out, and then come back. Is there a better way?

If I plan for a VFR flight, can I expect the controller to let me do something almost as simple as flying a traffic pattern except I will quickly switch frequency to talk to the other tower and land in their field?

The simplest way is vfr with flight following. Simply ask for that from clearance at Lindbergh-easy

Thanks. I will try it out this weekend while testing the new x-plane PE plugin.

Sounds like useful advice for a couple of the Alphabet Challenge flights, too. (KONT-KPOC comes to mind).

Have you ever used application for that?
You can find IFR planner and instructor app, or navigation app.

I use these for example, but there are lot of similar app.
