Dave, at those altitudes you will be talking to Syracuse Approach,
Binghamton Approach, Wilkes-Barre Approach, then I forgot. Probably NY
approach, then Philly Approach. No Centers involved.


Thanks -- that's excellent info. You guys are big on approach control down
there, aren't you?


David,

It depends upon where "down here". Pretty typically a radar approach
facility will control the airspace for 40 miles around and up to 8-10K.
Class B's up to 14. It's not just Class Cs, there are a bunch of
TRSAs and even class D airports which have approach control (the latter
can be told by the R in the blue circle next to their name on a sectional
chart IF the radar is on the airport, but sometimes have no indication
I can discern).

In the NE tracons are pretty thick on the ground. A bit further west
much sparser.

Have a good trip!
