![]() "Robert Henry" wrote in message news:57hYa.26627$5f.25359@lakeread05... 14CFR 91.126d as referenced in 14CFR 91.129a? Note that FAR 91.126(d) also begins with, "Unless otherwise authorized or required by ATC,..." § 91.126 Operating on or in the vicinity of an airport in Class G airspace. (d) Communications with control towers. Unless otherwise authorized or required by ATC, no person may operate an aircraft to, from, through, or on an airport having an operational control tower unless two-way radio communications are maintained between that aircraft and the control tower. Communications must be established prior to 4 nautical miles from the airport, up to and including 2,500 feet AGL. However, if the aircraft radio fails in flight, the pilot in command may operate that aircraft and land if weather conditions are at or above basic VFR weather minimums, visual contact with the tower is maintained, and a clearance to land is received. If the aircraft radio fails while in flight under IFR, the pilot must comply with § 91.185. According to whom? I see several references to the "ATC facility having jurisdiction over the Class D airspace area." Can there be more than one facility with that authority? VFR towers actually have little authority over Class D airspace, about all they can do is require VFR aircraft to remain clear of it. Authority and responsibility for IFR and SVFR operations rests with the overlying Center or approach control facility, although some of that is often delegated to the tower. |
