Default Silly controller

So, when did "descend to and maintain 4,000" no longer constitute an IFR
clearance?


It never did.



I haven't done a pop-up in a long time, but when I did do them, no
controller said, "Cleared to the Chino Airport." that was obvious by the
fact I was very near Chino and the controller gave me a heading for the
requested ILS to that airport.

Perhaps this stuff has changed since I last did it.


Nope.
