The Cessna 150 Since I was the only instrument rated pilot on the team, and the weather was marginal VFR, I chose to fly the 172, N7358G, up to Fairfield on an IFR flight plan above the clouds at 7,000 feet.

In contrast to a control tower, an FSS is not responsible for giving instructions or clearances to aircraft. Pilots are required to check for NOTAMs along their relevant routes or locations before the start of a flight. TFRs are published in real-time and can be checked using drone flight planning apps or via LAANC.
