Silly controller
Sam Spade wrote: Steven P. McNicoll wrote: "Christopher C. Stacy" wrote in message ... When he gave you the clearance for the approach, did he say "Maintain VFR?" If not, you were really IFR. No. You're really IFR when you hear "Cleared to..." How about this: Pilot: "SoCal Approach, Piper 1234B is 10 west of Paradise on top at 5,500. Request ILS approach to Chino 26 Right." ATC: "34B squawk 2133...34B radar contact, fly present heading for the Chino ILS 26 Right. Descend and maintain 4,000." Did the controller issue an IFR clearance? No, you started out VFR and you have to inform ATC if you can't maintain VFR.
