Default Confusion about when it's my navigation, and when it's ATC

If you want to get a glimpse into real world ATC, take a look at Don

I looked at the page. He seems to discuss nothing but politics.


The latest column probalby wasn't a good example, since he no longer
works for the FAA. But you might try any of the ATC courses (ATC 101,
ATC102, etc.) that prevoius columns offer.

Helps me to understand why I get vectors in certain situations. And
why when I request something I might get a "unable, but try again in 10
miles".
