 Must provide information required by FAR 91.153: Aircraft ID, type, pilot, departure point, departure time, route, altitude, TAS, destination, time en-route, fuel on board, souls on board, and "any other information the PIC or ATC believes is necessary for ATC purposes."
+An IFR flight plan may be cancelled any time a pilot is operating in VFR conditions outside Class A airspace by stating “cancel my IFR flight plan” to the controller or air-to-ground station. After cancelling an IFR flight plan, the pilot should change to the appropriate air-to-ground frequency, transponder code as directed, and VFR altitude/flight level. (IFH Ch10)

 ===== Alternate Airport Requirements =====
+.169(a)2 Requires an alternate airport be filed, UNLESS...
+For at least 1 hour before and for 1 hour after the estimated time of arrival, the ceiling will be at least 2,000 feet above the airport elevation and the visibility will be at least 3 statute miles.
+/2/3 Rule
+IFR alternate airport weather minima. Unless otherwise authorized by the Administrator, no person may include an alternate airport in an IFR flight plan unless appropriate weather reports or weather forecasts, or a combination of them, indicate that, at the estimated time of arrival at the alternate airport, the ceiling and visibility at that airport will be at or above the following weather minima:
+(A) For a precision approach procedure. Ceiling 600 feet and visibility 2 statute miles.
+(B) For a nonprecision approach procedure. Ceiling 800 feet and visibility 2 statute miles.
+<note important>If no instrument approach procedure has been published in part 97 of this chapter and no special instrument approach procedure has been issued by the Administrator to the operator, for the alternate airport, the ceiling and visibility minima are those allowing descent from the MEA, approach, and landing under basic VFR.</note>
 ===== Clearance Procedures - Towered & Non-Towered =====
+<note tip>5−2−3. IFR Clearances Off Uncontrolled Airports
+a. Pilots departing on an IFR flight plan should consult the Chart Supplement U.S. to determine the frequency or telephone number to use to contact clearance delivery. On initial contact, pilots should advise that the flight is IFR and state the departure and destination airports.
+b. Air traffic facilities providing clearance delivery services via telephone will have their telephone number published in the Chart Supplement U.S. of that airport’s entry. This same section may also contain a telephone number to use for cancellation of an IFR flight plan after landing.</note>
+Flight Service’s dedicated clearance delivery hotline: 1−888−766−8267
+<note important>A pilot departing VFR, either intending to or needing to obtain an IFR clearance en route, must be aware of the position of the aircraft and the relative terrain/obstructions. When accepting a clearance below the MEA/MIA/MVA/OROCA, pilots are responsible for their own terrain/obstruction clearance until reaching the MEA/MIA/MVA/OROCA. If pilots are unable to maintain terrain/obstruction clearance, the controller should be advised and pilots should state their intentions.</note>
