So you are saying that one has to change operating rules based on the
route of the flight.

No, I am not saying that. Why do you keep putting words in my mouth?

It is your clearance limit because that is where you filed to and where
you want to land.

No, it was my clearance limit because that is where I was cleared to.

I am beginning to suspect that MX is right and you don't actually have a
clue.

Again, "direct" does not mean direct to the airport.


That's news to me. Where in the regs does it say that?


When you don't lose comms and you file and fly to an airport and do not
get vectors, where do you go to? You go to an IAF, right?

Not usually. Usually I get vectors to the FAF. I fly in pretty
congested airspace where full approaches are quite rare.

I misunderstood your initial question and I apologize for any demeaning
statements. It appeared to me that you were not aware of what the FARs
stated. Again, my apologies.

Well, it's possible I'm missing something. We seem to have a difference
of opinion about what a direct clearance means. I'm still waiting for a
citation to support your position.
