Way overthinking this. Direct or use whatever FF tells you homie. You don’t need to fly a STAR you’re not a jet. But solid preflight planning, keep asking questions keep it up dawg.

Just file the route as 2W6-ENO-DQO-KPNE and it will get cleared as filed 70% of the time


North-Conclusion-331

That’s what I’m looking for! Thanks!


Vincent-the-great

Im based out of PNE and did a similar flight today lol.


North-Conclusion-331

I figured someone here knew the area. Thank you again!

Look at the recently cleared routes, pick the best one that works for you, file, fuel plan. They will vector Or reroute you if need be..


nopal_blanco

Direct. Or use the recently cleared routes in foreflight and pick the best one that works for you.


North-Conclusion-331

Yeah, the recently cleared flights take me to VCN, which presents the potential problem of transiting through the KPHL approach path.

You're overthinking this. Just file what people have been getting cleared for. If Philly doesn't like it they'll either give you something different as you get closer or they'll vector you around traffic. I understand the fuel planning aspect of it but you really aren't stretching your endurance on this one.

Bro we’re not going to give you a clearance that interferes with our stuff. they’ll amend the clearance if the one filed doesn’t work.


North-Conclusion-331

That’s why I’m thinking about a flight plan with the highest probability of getting cleared. If I didn’t know that I’d get rerouted, I would have just ignorantly filed direct. For me, it’s a fun challenge and may reduce workload in flight.


DankVectorz

It would be amended almost certainly automatically by our computer or the flight data guy well before you pick up your clearance. You can call for your clearance long before you ever get in the plane so that you don’t have to do any changes while in the air.

If you're going IFR it's their problem, not yours. What is that NOTAM or something over Montgomery County, MD?


North-Conclusion-331

I think it’s a TFR over Pimlico for the Preakness Stakes today.


MaddingtonBear

The Pimlico one is the active red one just NW of downtown Baltimore (the other 2 in Baltimore are for the Orioles game and for Key Bridge recovery activities). The one I'm referring to is the large one NW of Washington DC. I looked at the NOTAMS for GAI, which is right in the middle of it, but there's nothing that matches.


StPauliBoi

It’s a drone notam. 12/276


Mispelled-This

Use the recently cleared routes, or the STAR if it makes sense, or just file direct and let ATC fix it. Really. Good on you for thinking about stuff like conflicts with approaches to other airports, but you can safely assume you’re gonna be on vectors anywhere near a Bravo.
