Oh that’s some very helpful info, thank you for your time. I have checked out sky vector, does that cover worldwide, I know that for IFR plans its only US.
As for the entering manually into garmin in say the Cirrus Sr22, what markers do I need to look for on the sky vector maps if I want to use GPS waypoints. I want to keep it fairly simple while Im learning still, so on garmin enter departure and destination airports and any waypoints along the way?
Just a thought if Im using direct gps from destination to arrival is there any need for waypoints in between, or are waypoints a good way of exploring areas, famous landmarks along the way?
As for ATC I use Ai pilot atc, think I will switch that off and take control.
Thanks again.
