Hi, I am practicing with IFR/VFR flight and I have a few questions:
1- If I start using a IFR plan that include a destination and I ask to fly VFR, do PF3 expect me to fly the waypoint in the fly plan. Yesterday I loaded the following flight plan CYQB (Quebec City) to CYOW (Ottawa City) with the following waypoints (YQB DCT UDBAM DCT DICEN DCT NOSUT DCT ALIDO), I requested to fly VFR just after YQB by contacting FSS and that worked. After a few minutes I received a message that I was X miles from my plan route. Why, if I am VFR, do I have to follow my submitted plan?
2- I also wanted to land at a different airport then my plan destination and my alternate. So how do I instruct PF3 that I want to land at a different airport then plan? Today I was once again flying CYQB (Quebec City) to CYOW (Ottawa City) and I experience severe thunderstorm, so I try to contact CYUL (Montreal Trudeau), I tried every com frequency for the airport by I could connect with them to ask for landing instruction. How do I do this?
Thanks
Pierre
