While the ultimate responsibility for complying with FARs lies with
the PIC, it is my understanding that ATC is mandated by FAAO 7110.65*
to coordinate transit into/through the airspace of other facilities.
So would you say that if one were in the pattern that it would imply
the same responsibilities of ATC as if I were on, say, flight
following?
2.Is the controller supposed to arrange things so that I *can* turn
base and not be in conflict with other aircraft?
Without checking FAAO 7110.65, I would say yes.
Interesting...
3.How would you resolve the problem if it were happening to you ?
I would call the tower manager, and discuss the issue to get his
views. Then I'd file a NASA form, and suggest how to change the
current procedures to make the issue less problematic.
I meant: How would you resolve the problem if it were happening right
now?
Thanks Larry!
