Filing direct
There was a thread a while ago about filing direct, and the need to include
a fix for each ARTCC boundary. Just thought I'd give my recent experience. I've been flying up and down from CA to the North West a bit lately. The V route from the Seattle area to the Bay Area is a horror. So when I came back from Medford (ZSE) I just filed direct Point Reyes then the STAR for Palo Alto (PYE1). I got some vectors for climbing (terrain to the South) then direct PYE. This weekend I went to the Seattle area. I filed direct Olympia direct. Once I'd been vectored out from under the jets coming into the Bay Area, I got direct OLM. This morning returning (from Renton), I filed direct PYE PYE1. My clearance was SEA J1 BTG then as filed, but I got vectored out of the way of the jets then direct PYE. So, between Oakland and Seattle, three out of three. YMMV of course. John |
