![]() 1. Because Angel Flights get slightly higher priority in routing if needed and Lifeguard is given priority handling by ATC, Angel Flight is not. **************** Officially, you are correct. Unofficially, Angel Flights are treated with a special (and detectable) "consideration". 2. To give the controller information about the flight that might help in an emergency. How would knowing a VFR GPS was aboard help the controller in an emergency? ***************************** It seems to me that what kind of navigational equipment the pilot has on board is "relevant to the flight", and I can think of scenarios where knowing the pilot has a GPS might help in an emergency involving failure of one or more instruments, or partial electrical failure. Let me ask you, Steven, how could it HURT the controller to have this information? |
