Bob Gardner wrote: "Maintain 2200 until established, cleared for the ILS." Do you report leaving 2200 when the glideslope comes down? Nope, I don't. The glideslope coming down is not a "newly assigned altitude". No, but you are leaving a previously assigned altitude which is your original point as I recall. And the point is that once cleared for the approach, you are also cleared to enter and leave all altitudes from that point until you are on the runway. OK, I'm grasping at straws to justify my position. I guess (in my mind) the key thing is that on a visual approach clearance or a discretion to [altitude] clearance, the controller has no way of anticipating my actions. I can either start down now, or whenever I feel like it. So (to me) it seems reasonable that I might be required to report, and I read the AIM paragraph that way. Yes, you are grasping for straws. :-) It still seems to me that the discretion-to-altitude case definitely requires a report, but, OK, I'll give up on the visual approach since that is arguably not a newly assigned altitude. Hopefully, one of the resident ATC folks will chime in with what they believe is correct. Matt |
