Wilma may be a feeder, but it is not an Intial Approach Point (IAP). That
means if you filed to Wilma as the final point on your route, your next
point is your destination. Thinking in terms of lost communication, which
is
a driver for many procedural practices... If you went from Wilma to one of
the 2 initials (SLI or ALBAS) you have some predictability. If you go from
Wilma to some place on the approach because you believe you can hack the
intercept (which some proposed), you have less predictability. If you were
shooting an approach at some airports that have several more feeders, then
what is ATC supposed to do? Clear the airspace for a 25 NM radius?


There is no predictability in these situations. ATC is going to do whatever
is necessary to ensure separation. If you still present a radar target they
can work with then they'll keep other IFR aircraft away from you and
continue with other operations as best they can. If it means clearing the
airspace for 25 miles then that's what they'll do.
