I think what Anto=F1io was asking for was a regulation to support the n=

that a pilot can or must refuse an ATC instruction just because complia=

would violate the FARs.

Maybe that's what he meant.
Fortunately, all of the above is moot. In this particular instance, the
controller gave no instruction that would have forced a violation of the
FARs.


Not so Pete... The controller told me to "follow the Arrow" . To do so
*safely* (in my opinion) required I extend the downwind leg right into
class B.

I'm going to repeat this every time you insist on making that FALSE
STATEMENT:

Extending the downwind leg DID NOT require you to fly through the Class B
airspace.

But to do *safely* (in fact) probably didn't require you to extend the
downwind leg right into Class B airspace. Where were you on the downwind
when the instruction to follow the Arrow was issued and what were you
flying?

If there was a cloud at the boundary of the class B, what would you have
done?
