"Your interpretation is as correct as any other."

A bit of tongue-in-cheek, perhaps?

What I don't understand, is why don't people just ask for a clarification
when one is needed? It just doesn't seem like the airspace would be very
safe if everyone ran around doing what they THOUGHT someone instructed them
to do.

To coin a whatever: "If you have to ask, you might look stupid, but if you
don't ask, you might look dead. Take your choice".

I didn't mean to create a scrap here.

FYI, I'm not itinerant at KHWD, it's my home airport.

What I meant was, I was not given specific instructions, as is often
the case at Hayward. You are normall told to fly to a specific point,
don't break certain altitudes, etc.

When the controller said "modified straight in", and no other
instructions, I assumed that to mean that I could fly at pilot's
discretion. For those of you with more hours than I (300), please
correct me if I'm wrong.


Your interpretation is as correct as any other.
