quiz me on – PPL Law

May a pilot deviate from the route stated in a VFR flight plan when they fly in controlled airspace 'C' or 'D' and the reason for the deviation is not threatening flight safety?
Yes, provided they obtain an amended clearance first from ATC
For VFR flights under Part 91 it is mandatory to file a flight plan when:
The flight is more than 50 nm from shore
The major aerodromes in New Zealand are surrounded by Class C airspace. When operating VFR in such airspace, ATC will separate an aircraft from:
