He has to either terminate you in time for you
to make contact with the class C or hand you off.

Please cite the pertinent part of FAA Order 7110.65 that supports your
allegation with regard to ARTTC providing Radar Traffic Advisory
Services to VFR flight.


Would that be 2-1-16 or 2-1-17?

Chapter 2. General Control

Section 1. General

2-1-17. RADIO COMMUNICATIONS TRANSFER

a. Transfer radio communications before an aircraft enters the
receiving controller's area of jurisdiction unless otherwise
coordinated or specified by a letter of agreement or a facility
directive.

b. Transfer radio communications by specifying the following:

NOTE -
Radio communications transfer procedures may be specified by a letter
of agreement or contained in the route description of an MTR as
published in the DOD Planning AP/1B (AP/3).

1. The facility name or location name and terminal function to be
contacted. TERMINAL: Omit the location name when transferring
communications to another controller within your facility; except when
instructing the aircraft to change frequency for final approach
guidance include the name of the facility.

2. Frequency to use except the following may be omitted:

(a) FSS frequency.

(b) Departure frequency if previously given or published on a DP chart
for the procedure issued.

(c) TERMINAL:

(1) Ground or local control frequency if in your opinion the pilot
knows which frequency is in use.

(2) The numbers preceding the decimal point if the ground control
frequency is in the 121 MHz bandwidth.

EXAMPLE -
``Contact Tower.''
``Contact Ground.''
``Contact Ground Point Seven.''
``Contact Ground, One Two Zero Point Eight.''
``Contact Huntington Radio.''
``Contact Departure.''
``Contact Los Angeles Center, One Two Three Point Four.''

3. Time, fix, altitude, or specifically when to contact a facility.
You may omit this when compliance is expected upon receipt.

NOTE -
AIM, para 5-3-1, ARTCC COMMUNICATIONS, informs pilots that they are
expected to maintain a listening watch on the transferring
controller's frequency until the time, fix, or altitude specified.


PHRASEOLOGY -
CONTACT (facility name or location name and terminal function),
(frequency).

If required,

AT (time, fix, or altitude).

c. In situations where an operational advantage will be gained, and
following coordination with the receiving controller, you may instruct
aircraft on the ground to monitor the receiving controller's
frequency.

EXAMPLE -
``Monitor Tower.''
``Monitor Ground.''
``Monitor Ground Point Seven.''
``Monitor Ground, One Two Zero Point Eight.''

d. In situations where a sector has multiple frequencies or when
sectors are combined using multiple frequencies and the aircraft will
remain under your jurisdiction, transfer radio communication by
specifying the following:

PHRASEOLOGY -
(Identification) CHANGE TO MY FREQUENCY (state frequency).

EXAMPLE -
``United two twenty-two change to my frequency one two three point
four.''

REFERENCE -
AIM, CONTACT PROCEDURES, Para 4-2-3.

e. Avoid issuing a frequency change to helicopters known to be
single-piloted during air-taxiing, hovering, or low-level flight.
Whenever possible, relay necessary control instructions until the
pilot is able to change frequency.

NOTE -
Most light helicopters are flown by one pilot and require the constant
use of both hands and feet to maintain control. Although Flight
Control Friction Devices assist the pilot, changing frequency near the
ground could result in inadvertent ground contact and consequent loss
of control. Pilots are expected to advise ATC of their single-pilot
status if unable to comply with a frequency change.

REFERENCE -
AIM, COMMUNICATIONS, Para 4-3-14.

f. In situations where the controller does not want the pilot to
change frequency but the pilot is expecting or may want a frequency
change, use the following phraseology.

PHRASEOLOGY -
REMAIN THIS FREQUENCY.

FAAO 7110.65, COMMUNICATION TRANSFER, Para 5-12-8.
