freezing level was 7000-8000
[...] I start my decent, between some clouds Between how much cloud? This could be a serious pilot error, or not a big deal so here I am now down from my safe altitude above the clouds [...] I amnow stuck and I needed my clearence or I would be in trouble. .... which is why I ask, above. because he was too busy. noone was talking except me. On that frequency. Controllers often work many frequencies, and do things besides talk on the radio. then he does not want me to do the ILS, he tells me to decend to 2700 ft and to be prepared for the visual. You can request the ILS. But if he's clearing you for a visual, then you can probably complete the visual. Not always though... I got a visual into DXR once, but was in some CB and needed a real approach. The controller asked what I wanted, so I took the Loc 8. and I didnt even tell you about the 1500 fpm downdraft or when my engine started losing power. OK controllers, admit it. You have secret radio control over the weather and the engine. Now if you could only control the hobbs meter for me too! Jose -- (for Email, make the obvious changes in my address) |
