Hi,
When I file RHV-STS (IFR) I put "Unable STINS" in the Remark section. ATC usually comes back with (a much better) RHV-OAK-SGD-intersection-Direct (or something like that, it's been a while...), or it might be "RHV, radar vector SAU, direct" - both are much better, safer, and more direct. Hilton |

Agreed. My original plan was SQL RV OAK, Point-Reyes-VOR and a few victor airways up to Ukiah but got that instead. Next time, yes, I'll say unable for undesirable routes. I definitely learned my lesson(s). Gerald |

I definitely learned my lesson(s). There are times when being is IMC is more comfortable than being in VMC and seeing how far you have to swim. Been there, done that, now I leave my logbooks at home.
