5 Things I Do Before an IFR Flight
1. Always file to an approach FIX (if you lose comm - ATC knows where you are
2. Brief Approach on the Grown - (thinking ahead on aircraft- frequencies NDA, Altitude etc)
3. STARS & DP ahead of time
4. Figure out Departure Frequency ahead of time (CRAFT)
5. Preview Routing Ahead of time

Note:
- If you're on IFR flight plan and you are NOT within Approach, you are with CENTER
- Approach Control airspace below 10,000'
