: I've read that Class B airspaces are not happy to see GA traffic. From my experience, Class B controllers are happy to service traffic that behaves professionally, regardless of what part of the FARs they are operating under. I have personally heard Class B controllers ball out Airline Pilots for failing to pay proper attention to a call, and for failing to comply with an instruction in a timely fashion (ie: after three or four acknowledged requests). I have also heard them treat pilots in trainer planes with respect and gratitude. The controller has a job to do, and he expects the planes in his airspace to be monitoring his transmissions, and to follow his directions for procedures, altitudes, and headings in a timely fashion. Anyone who complies is welcomed. Even pilots who make a mistake are treated well and mildly corrected. But if a controller has to repeat every instruction 3 or 4 times, he's going to start getting very annoyed. |
