REFLECTOR: IFR Flight

[Scott Baker]

If IFR, no need to follow the VFR corridor exactly. You can request "direct Pensacola - direct Destin - direct Panama City, etc.  if you want to follow the shoreline. Or ask for a clearance based on heading information given to you by your VFR GPS, i.e. "request heading 090, direct Panama City when able". 
Hope this helps.
