Declan,
Part of the problem was that you were flying VFR. THe same key which contacts a
controller is used to request flight following in this case. Flight following
is exclusively a VFR service.
Best,
Zack.

hi, just looking for some confirmation. I was ready to depart when the
airport told me to hold short due to traffic, I acknowledged this and told
Mike to wait a minute when he asked for takeoff clearance confirmation agaim.
After a while Mike said we already had takeoff clearance, so I assumed it
would be fine, but when I took off he did not contact the controller even
though we were at 3000 feet by that point and when I forced him to do so
manually by saying contact controller he asked for the airport to track our
flight with flight following. Was the problem just that I hadn't received
takeoff clearance when I took off?Blind and Visually impaired Pilots
