Thanks to all who replied. There is not going to be any action taken on this
case. Everything turned out ok when I talked to a supervisor he was very nice and understanding listen to my story and believed it was just a mistake on their part told me don't take it personal and just forget they ever had me call. Thanks Again to everyone on their views Chris |

I have to agree with Lee on this one as the controllers in my area are also
EXCELLENT! On one short x-c flight in some haze, I received a traffic advisory that another aircraft was at 12:00 my altitude, approx. one mile. While this particular call was later than most, I didn't see the traffic. Immediately after I head my traffic advisory, I descended and turned. After about 30 degrees to the right and 200 feet lower, I saw the traffic. Probably the closest call I've had and I'm not so sure that without flight following I would have seen the other plane in time. Sorry Denny but I have to disagree with you. I don't believe ATC is out to get me. -- Jack Allison PP-ASEL "When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the Earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return" - Leonardo Da Vinci (Remove the obvious from address to reply via e-mail) |

If the visual conditions are such that you cannot see another aircraft in
time to avoid a crash on your own, then it is not truely VFR conditions, now is it? Time to air file an IFR flight plan and get the man to put green between you and the bogies... That is ATC's mission... As far as that call being late - Be aware, when you are vfr, ATC services are on a time permitting basis... The fact that he called that traffic for you is nice, but if he had an IFR traffic conflict, or internal phone lines handing off sector traffic, taking his time you might not have gotten the call at all - and there you sat all warm and fuzzy, feeling like daddy was watching over you... I'm not going to keep beating on the topic because I have made my points... I like controllers just fine - they are mostly straight up folks, and the lady atc in the Atlanta sector have downright sexy voices - but you have to understand the system, and you have to understand human nature, or the system will eat you... denny "Jack Allison" Sorry Denny but I have to disagree with you. I don't believe ATC is out to get me. |

and there you sat all warm and fuzzy, feeling like daddy was
watching over you... Dang, you assume a lot don't you Denny? Where'd you get that? Whenever on VFR flight following, I *NEVER* put the Mark-I eyeballs on the back burner. Just because you don't agree with me, don't assume. -- Jack Allison PP-ASEL "When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the Earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return" - Leonardo Da Vinci (Remove the obvious from address to reply via e-mail) |

And, yes I advise you to change heading and altitude shortly after leaving the controlled airspace... Why? And, I advise you to never tell departure your destination airport - simply say, "November xyz is departing vfr to the southwest at 3500", then change to west at 5500, etc., when clear of his airspace... Why? -- John T http://tknowlogy.com/TknoFlyer http://www.pocketgear.com/products_s...veloperid=4415 ____________________ |
