"cleared to ... when direct ..."
Got an odd clearance the other day, on climbout from Santa Monica
(IFR but in perfect VMC): "climb and maintain 6000 when direct Ventura". I took this to mean that someone would later clear me direct VTU, whereupon I would climb. However I never got such a clearance, and later an evidently nervous controller called me, cleared me to 6000', and asked me if I had the terrain in sight (which I did, but it was getting close for IFR though not worrying visually). I wonder what this clearance really meant? Did it mean "when ABLE direct", i.e. when I could receive the VOR (which I couldn't initially although I was filed /G anyway)? Or did someone just forget to give me the subsequent clearance? John |
