Oh that makes sense, I did think I had selected IFR but thinking about it now I
think I accidentally skip that step by mistake and if memory serves me
correctly the default selection is VF are.

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
