>2t MTOW and a bit confused about when enroute charges are levied.
Let's say I depart VFR but then obtain an IFR transit through Class D airspace enroute and then land VFR. Would I be charged and, if so, for what portion of the flight?
How about departing VFR and landing IFR off an instrument approach, or departing IFR and switching to VFR enroute (whether or not planned as such on a submitted flight plan - Y or Z)?
For Y or Z flight plans, are you charged for the whole flight or just for the portion under IFR (planned or actually flown)?
If picking up a clearance enroute, does it make a difference whether you fly through Class A or D airspace (assuming the UK)? In UK Class G airspace, one could switch between VFR and IFR without anyone really knowing.
Couldn't get to the bottom of this through the info on the Eurocontrol website - any practical insights gratefully appreciated.
