What can we do to prevent these deviations? Well today we will describe the most common deviations and discuss what we can do to prevent them.

Second Question:

If i got my squawk code and had my VFR flight following en route. My cruise altitude will be flying through Class C airspace and the altitude was approved by the approach. Am i clear to enter Class C airspace or do i have to contact the tower of the Class C before i could enter?

Tampa Airspace Map

Third Question:

Overheard on a podcast that filing and NOT opening a VFR flight plan still gives them a place to start looking if you don’t show up? How?

Question 4:
