...or above Bravo. Lots of traffic up there, though.

FF above the Bravo is good, approach wants to be talking to you, and they
can't tell you to go away.



Why does approach want to be talking to you above Bravo?

My remark was based on personal experience. They didn't explicitly say "we want
to talk to you", but I inferred that from the tone of the conversation. Maybe it
was Center and not Approach, I'm not sure any more. Who owns the airspace above
the Chicago bravo?

Anyway, guessing at their motivation, I thought it was because there was a lot
of aluminum up there and they'd rather be talking to my moving speed bump and
know my intentions rather than guessing.

What's your opinion?
