In this month’s mag Russell Myles flies his Sling from Scotland to Sweden.

Setting aside for the moment his huge dogleg (I think I might have just flown direct from Newcastle to Sweden) he seemed to raise VFR Flight plans for every single leg. Is this normal practice, because I’m not sure I would have done so?

Or have I missed something and you need to raise a flight plan to fly between European countries?

I can understand Europeans intra-Schengen rules are tighter than they were but surely that would require a GAR not a flight plan?
