I guess the situations where I've had it come up are when I want to
fly the VFR route over LAX and then pick up my IFR at the SMO VOR.
When the controllers see SMO as the first fix, they seem to assume I
want to pick it up on the ground.


Naturally.



In every case, approach as refused to issue clearance when in the air.


Did they say why?

They said I could land and pick up the clearance on the ground but
that they would not issue the clearance in the air. Perhaps this is
standard operating procedure for LA Approach? Do some areas just
consider themselves too special to have to issue airborne clearances?

One wacko controller is probably more likely. No reason at all why it
couldn't be issued in the air.
