That is a valid point and something which I agree would be helpful for me
to clarify.... I will ask Morgantown tower directly next time I get a
chance.


I phoned Morgantown tower, they have no BRITE.



Either way, it does not get away from the initial topic of discussion
which is that an IFR clearance on takeoff from MGW runway 18
should never contain the words "On Takeoff Turn Left ...."


There are many things an IFR clearance should not contain, but without a
transcript we do not know what it did contain.



I have asked ATC (Clarksburgh Approach) this question many times on IFR
flight plans approaching WAY.


Okay, but remember this is the same facility that apparently cleared you for
an approach when another IFR aircraft would be conflicting with the missed
approach segment.



Yes, but for all I know enroute traffic was landing at a nearby airport
and thus kept lower or maybe wanted lower to avoid winds or icing or
wanted
lower by request to stay IMC or had an emergency or any number of reasons.


Separation is the first priority. You don't grant a request that
compromises separation.



If the weather is marginal VFR for WAY, say minimum ceiling for a visual
approach into WAY with 3 miles visibility, I might well go missed on the
ILS to MGW and then continue IFR from MGW to WAY by my preference
to help with separation from other aircraft.


How do you know what the weather is at WAY? What does an approach at MGW
have to do with proceeding IFR to WAY?
