Unless you are IFR, they are NOT needed at a vast majority of airports in the United States. Most airports in the U.S. do not have a control tower, and many of those who do do not have a 24 hour control tower. No local or ground controllers. No ground control. These aren't the airports that have much traffic or are the problem. Those are major airports, which do have ATC. Even IFR, unless you are in the area of major airports, you may very well not have TRACON, ground, or local control. You take off with a clearance void time obtained from an RCO or relayed by FSS and once at sufficient altitude talk directly to the ARTCC for your location. Perhaps. It's been a loooong time since I was piloting aircraft. But then, what are the fees being talked about for exactly? Why, exactly, are the majors talking about their customers paying almost all the freight then? |
