Although lat/long is technically acceptable, my experience is ATC
doesn't like them and dont know where they are. Also, they don't know how to call them out. ATC prefers VOR/DME, which you can use the GPS to find if you know how. But the best thing IS VOR's or airports. Although intersections SHOULD be ok, I've seen ATC not know where some are. The VFR waypoints are excluded, I guess they didn't want to go there. Best thing these days seems to be to file direct and take what you get UNLESS you fly it all the time and KNOW what ATC is going to give you, in which case, file THAT. It's a bit of a quagmire and I've filed one route, gotten my ground clearance for a second route and then once in the air, been told to fly a third. Which is why I just file direct (which is the fastest anyway). |
