In a perfect world you pick your departure time, file your flight plan, your passengers show up on schedule, both the check and engine start are smooth, you are immediately cleared, and you are in the air exactly on time.

Unfortunately, the real word is usually something different.

Filing the flight plan and coordinating with ATC is the easy part, but it also has the most operational risk. The ATC plan is usually filed first, which makes it vulnerable to a multitude of things that can go wrong in all the events that need follow. And if you try and file at the last possible moment, after everything is in place, you run the risk of being stuck at the back of the line for airport and route slot clearances.
