If you dont take their "recommended vector" they can terminate your
radar services arbitrarily under the "workload" clause. If you want flight following, you have to play ball. Dave Steven P. McNicoll wrote: wrote in message ... I've recently had a discussion with my A&P/IA about this. He routinely hops in his turbo arrow, and flies from Virginia to Key West VFR at 11000' without talking to a soul. A violation of FAR 91.159(a). Right over top of Class-C and Class-B. What he says, (and I tend to agree with him anymore), is if you talk to them, even if you're clear of their airspace, they'll try to route you over hell and gone. Possibly an error on ATC's part over the top of Class C airspace, definitely an error on their part over Class B airspace. Having flown under and over Chicago's airspace, a number of times, you find this more often than not. Rather than encouraging the additional safety of flight following, this really discourages working with the approach controllers. Same thing talking with Milwaukee approach every time I've gone up there. I'm coming lakeshore from the south, planning to go just outside of their Class-C on my way in to Capitol, also just outside their Class-C. If I talk to them, they'll route me 10 miles to the west, every time... even without traffic conflict. Class C services are provided to participating VFR traffic in the outer area just as they are in the Class C proper, but without conflicting IFR traffic they have no basis upon which to move you. |
