You haven't provided anything to say otherwise. Now, your turn.
Put up docs to prove your side, or shut up.


It doesn't work that way. It's my position that there's no requirement to
read back the instruction to remain clear of Class C airspace. I can say
that with confidence because I'm intimately familiar with the procedures.
It isn't possible to provide documemtation that there's no such requirement.
You're asking me to prove a negative, that's not possible. That's why the
burden of proof is on you. It's your position that a readback is required.
If it is, it should be a simple matter for you to provide the documentation
supporting your position and proving me wrong. Please cite that
documentation.



It has to be read back. Like any call/acknowledgment. a simple
'roger' or ignoring it doesn't work. Read it back. Save your ass a
request to call the facility, let alone another checkride because
you've mucked things up, and read it back.


That's simply not the way it is. Are you a pilot?
