Filing flight plans in Ghost mode?

[Michael G.]

Hi, I've got a beginner question:

Can you – and should you – file a flight plan if you are only in Ghost mode?

Reason for asking: I want to make things as realistic as possible while learning but I also don't want to unnecessarily bother ATC with flight plans that won't actually be flown in Live mode.

Hello Michael,

You are absolutely free to file flight plans even if you want to fly on ghost mode. This will not interfere with ATC operations at all!
