"Paul Tomblin" wrote in message ... Are you saying you can't be cleared direct to a navaid unless you're in radar contact? Pretty much, not if the navaid is beyond altitude and distance limitations. Why would you assume that the navaid is ALWAYS beyond altitude and distance limitations? Surely there must be *some* approaches where you could be coming in at nearly the right course and altitude if you were cleared directly to the navaid from a nearby intersection or airway? I was going to say the NDB 28 at PEO from PTAKI intersection, but realized that because the navaid is on the field you wouldn't know when to descend to the MDA without some independent way of knowing you were within 10 miles of the field. -- Paul Tomblin http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/ "Tech Services - We Aim To Please, We Shoot To Kill" -- H.

I'm assuming if the navaid is within altitude and distance limitations and the course via that navaid coincides with the FAC the SIAP would include an NoPT segment from that navaid because it is easy and useful to do so. Surely there must be *some* approaches where you could be coming in at nearly the right course and altitude if you were cleared directly to the navaid from a nearby intersection or airway? Find an example and we'll discuss it. |

I'm wondering how you came to be on the localizer at the proper altitude without either a radar vector or a NoPT segment or out of a holding fix. Let's say you're 20 miles out, bearing 162 to HPN (i.e. 5 NW of FARAN, see http://www.myairplane.com/databases/...s/00651I16.pdf). The controller says, "Cruise 3000, radar service terminated, frequency change approved, have a nice night". A strict interpretation of the rules says that if I wanted to fly the ILS-16, I should either fly to IGN and fly the NoPT segment from there, or fly to HESTR and do a PT. A more rational approach would be to just drop down to 2000 at FARAN, then follow the published procedure from that point. In fact, I'll go out on a limb and say that anything else would be absurd. |

Whatever, I'll play, but more information is needed. What's the routing that brought you to that point 5 NW of FARAN? |

Being cleared direct-to inside an IAF is not in accordance with air traffic policy. If they want you to go straight-in and in the process bypass a pertinent IAF, then they must vector you to "final" in accordance with 7110.65, 5-9-1. Otherwise you, as PIC, are required to begin an IAP at an IAF. If that IAF is followed by NoPT routing, then you go straight-in. If not and a course reversal is charted you do the course reversal.

Whatever, I'll play, but more information is needed. What's the routing that brought you to that point 5 NW of FARAN? With the exception of the cruise clearance, it's pretty real-world. Coming from that direction, I've been asked to intercept the localizer 25-30 miles out. But, OK, if you'll play, I'll play. Remember, though, the game we're playing is "How should you fly this clearance", not "Let's argue about whether NY Approach would ever issue a cruise clearance". If you don't want to play my game, I'm picking up my airplane and my microphone and going home :-) How about I had just departed Minard Farms, NY (1NY7). I got my clearance from FSS on the phone, "ATC clears N-25629 to the White Plains Airport via direct. Maintain 3000, departure frequency is 132.75, squawk 1234. Clearance void if not off by 0700. Time now is 0648". Direct course from 1NY7 to HPN is 170. By the time I completed my initial departure to the west to avoid the high towers east of the airport, and turned on course, HPN was bearing 162. At that time, NY Approach finally responded to my radio call and gave me "Radar contact, 5 southwest of Minard. Proceed on course, maintain 3000". Sometime later, the controller handed me off to 126.4. The controller on that frequency gave me the cruise clearance quoted above. At that point, you tune in the AWOS and hear that the weather at HPN is 800 overcast and 5 miles, wind 160 at 10. What would be your course of action? |

If you don't want to play my game, I'm picking up my airplane and my microphone and going home :-) Well, if it's "pretty real-world", it means ATC isn't following FAAO 7110.65. There's no benefit to playing the game if everyone isn't playing by the rules. How about I had just departed Minard Farms, NY (1NY7). I got my clearance from FSS on the phone, "ATC clears N-25629 to the White Plains Airport via direct. Maintain 3000, departure frequency is 132.75, squawk 1234. Clearance void if not off by 0700.

You can't get to that point if everyone is playing by the rules. At the point ATC terminated radar service you were on a route that required radar monitoring by ATC. Termination of radar service at that point requires issuance of nonradar routing. |

Here's a real-world scenario that I've encountered:
VOR 22 approach to GED (Georgetown, DE): http://www.naco.faa.gov/d-tpp/publis...s/00935V22.PDF Coming from the northeast, on the 057 radial inbound to ATR (Victor 308), Dover Approach says "cross Waterloo at 3000, cleared for the VOR 22 approach". Since my course is now 237, I'm only three degrees off the final approach course of 234. There's no "No PT" sector shown, and the charted hold in lieu of a PT would put me on the 033 radial, with a 23 degree turn at the FAF. Obviously it makes no sense to do a turn in the hold, and Dover didn't expect me to, but some people would claim it's required. Is Dover doing anything contrary to 7110.65? Barry |
