I've done more than my share of popping up over the years (ATC seems easier
to get along with west of the Mississippi) and I can't remember ever being vectored in Class E airspace. Not that my memory is perfect, but it seems to me that if it was a regular occurence I would remember it. Bob Gardner wrote in message ... : Why don't more people use flight following? The biggest reason I've heard (and feel often enough) is that you're likely to get "vectored" even if clear of controlled airspace. I've got a friend with a turbo Arrow that flies along VFR without flight following right over the top of Class C and Class B at 10500 or 11500. If you were to call up approach while doing, that, seems like 9 times out of 10 they'll vector you 10-20 miles out of the way. Similarly if you're skirting under an airspace... likely to get vectored further out. It's unfortunate, since it discourages people who enjoy the freedom of VFR from getting additional safety of traffic advisories and being "in the system." -Cory -- ************************************************** *********************** * Cory Papenfuss * * Electrical Engineering candidate Ph.D. graduate student * * Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University * ************************************************** *********************** |
