Silly controller
My instructor always corrected the controllers when they made a mistake. If
they got snotty he would call them. "Sam Spade" wrote in message news:bpKHg.15$c07.14@fed1read04... Brad wrote: Robert M. Gary wrote: At least it's better than the controller who told my instrument student as we approached the FAF, (we were on an IFR flight plan) "IFR canceled, squawk VFR, frequency change approved." even though we hadn't canceled. It was VMC, so operationally it wasn't a big deal for us, but I learned from TRACON's QC person that the controller was a trainee and the instructing controller missed it. I've had that happen a couple times over the years. My stock reply was "I am inside a cloud, unable VFR."
