Not that I disagree with you, but are you able to cite FAA regulations
or orders that support your allegation?

FAR 91.131(a)(1) (necessity of clearance) and 7710.65R 7-9-2(a) (approved
phraseology).

What part of the term "real pilots" confused you?



I really hate to come to Two-Tonne Tony's defense here, but he is
right as far as the .65 goes. There is the actual phraseology stated
here.

I'd also like to mention that while I am not a real pilot
(yet), I do understand the reasoning to know the regs before stepping
into the plane, so should that discriminate someone who knows it but
hasn't had the chance to apply it in the real world yet the opportunity
to answer?

Lastly, while I do flightsim, I also have more common sense to
think that flying a sim like MSFS *is real*. It is possible to get it
close to real, but it isn't. If one refuses to believe that there is a
difference, there is a problem.

Curses! Why must my answers be answered! And by him, of all people!

Regardless, you've got your man, Friday. Book 'em, Danno, and all that.

In the discussion below, I stated that there are times when a Class B
clearance is implied. Can one of the ATC personnel among the
readership of this newsgroup respond to that?

When, under VFR, is a class Bravo clearance implied, such that this
implied clearance can be relied on at an enforcement hearing?


Perhaps 'implied' wasn't the best choice of words to use in this
situation.

Without knowing all the circumstances (such as LOAs, the position of
the aircraft at various times, etc.) surrounding this particular
incident, it's probably not possible to assert a definitive answer to
your question, and I don't pretend to be knowledgeable about _all_ the
regulations that address this issue.

I was hoping that I wouldn't have to do the work of searching FAAO
7110.65, but here's what I found:

5-4-5. TRANSFERRING CONTROLLER
HANDOFF
The transferring controller shall:
a. Complete a radar handoff prior to an aircraft’s
entering the airspace delegated to the receiving
controller.
REFERENCE-
FAAO 7110.65, Coordinate Use of Airspace, Para 2-1-14.

flight path, altitude, or data block information while
the handoff is being initiated or after acceptance,
unless otherwise specified by a LOA or a facility
directive.
NOTE-
Those en route facilities using host software that provides
capability for passing interim altitude shall include the
specific operations and procedures for use of this
procedure in a LOA between the appropriate facilities.
c. Ensure that, prior to transferring communications:
1. Potential violations of adjacent airspace and
potential conflicts between aircraft in their own area
of jurisdiction are resolved.
2. Necessary coordination has been accomplished
with all controllers through whose area of
jurisdiction the aircraft will pass prior to entering the
receiving controller’s area of jurisdiction, except
when such coordination is the receiving controller’s
responsibility as stated in para 5-4-6, Receiving
Controller Handoff, and unless otherwise specified
by a LOA or a facility directive.
3. Restrictions issued to ensure separation are
passed to the receiving controller.
d. After transferring communications, continue to
comply with the requirements of subparas c1 and 2.
e. Comply with restrictions issued by the receiving
controller unless otherwise coordinated.
f. Comply with the provisions of para 2-1-17,
Radio Communications Transfer, subparas a and b.
To the extent possible, transfer communications
when the transfer of radar identification has been
accepted.
NOTE-
Before the ARTS/STARS “modify/quick look” function is
used to transfer radar identification, a facility directive
which specifies communication transfer points is required.
g. Advise the receiving controller of pertinent
information not contained in the data block or flight
progress strip unless covered in a LOA or facility
directive. Pertinent information includes:
1. Assigned heading.
2. Air speed restrictions.
3. Altitude information issued.
4. Observed track or deviation from the last
route clearance.
5. The beacon code if different from that
normally used or previously coordinated.
6. Any other pertinent information.
h. Ensure that the data block is associated with the
appropriate target.
i. Initiate verbal coordination to verify the position
of primary or nondiscrete targets when using the
automated handoff functions except for intrafacility
handoffs using single-sensor systems or multisensor
systems operating in a mosaic RDP mode.
j. Initiate verbal coordination before transferring
control of a track when “CST”, “FAIL”, “NONE”,
“NB”, “NX”, “IF”, or “NT” is displayed in the data
block.
k. Advise the receiving controller that radar
monitoring is required when the aircraft is on a direct
route initiated by ATC that exceeds usable NAVAID
distances.
l. Issue restrictions to the receiving controller
which are necessary to maintain separation from
other aircraft within your area of jurisdiction before
releasing control of the aircraft.
m. Consider the target being transferred as
identified on the receiving controller’s display when
the receiving controller acknowledges receipt
verbally or has accepted an automated handoff.
n. Accomplish the necessary coordination with
any intervening controllers whose area of jurisdiction
is affected by the receiving controller’s delay in the
climb or the descent of an aircraft through the vertical
limits of your area of jurisdiction when the receiving
controller advises you of that delay before accepting
the transfer of radar identification unless otherwise
specified by a LOA or a facility directive.
5-4-6. RECEIVING CONTROLLER HANDOFF
The receiving controller shall:
a. Ensure that the target position corresponds with
the position given by the transferring controller or
that there is an appropriate association between an
automated data block and the target being transferred
before accepting a handoff.
REFERENCE-
FAAO 7110.65, Coordinate Use of Airspace, Para 2-1-14.
FAAO 7110.65, Control Transfer, Para 2-1-15.
FAAO 7110.65, Transferring Controller Handoff, Para 5-4-5.
b. Issue restrictions that are needed for the aircraft
to enter your sector safely before accepting the
handoff.
c. Comply with restrictions issued by the initiating
controller unless otherwise coordinated.
d. Before you issue control instructions directly to
an aircraft that is within another controller’s area of
jurisdiction that will change that aircraft’s heading,
route, speed, altitude, or beacon code, ensure that
coordination has been accomplished with each of the
controllers listed below whose area of jurisdiction is
affected by those instructions unless otherwise
specified by a LOA or a facility directive:
NOTE-
Those en route facilities using host software that provides
capability for passing interim altitude shall include the
specific operations and procedures for use of this
procedure in a LOA between the appropriate facilities.
1. The controller within whose area of jurisdiction
the control instructions will be issued.
2. Any intervening controller(s) through whose
area of jurisdiction the aircraft will pass.
e. After accepting a handoff from another
controller, confirm the identity of primary target by
advising the aircraft of its position, and of a beacon
target by observing a code change, an “ident” reply,
or a “standby” squawk unless one of these was used
during handoff. These provisions do not apply at
those towers and GCAs which have been delegated
the responsibility for providing radar separation
within designated areas by the parent approach
control facility and the aircraft identification is
assured by sequencing or positioning prior to the
handoff.
REFERENCE-
FAAO 7110.65, Approach Separation Responsibility, Para 5-9-5.
f. When using appropriate equipment, consider a
discrete beacon target’s identity to be confirmed
when:
1. The data block associated with the target
being handed off indicates the computer assigned
discrete beacon code is being received, or
2. You observe the deletion of a discrete code
that was displayed in the data block, or
NOTE-
When the aircraft generated discrete beacon code does not
match the computer assigned beacon code, the code
generated will be displayed in the data block. When the
aircraft changes to the assigned discrete code, the code
disappears from the data block. In this instance, the
observance of code removal from the data block satisfies
confirmation requirements.
3. You observe the numeric display of a discrete
code that an aircraft has been instructed to squawk or
reports squawking.
g. Initiate verbal coordination prior to accepting
control of a track when “CST”, “NAT”, “NT”,
“NONE”, “NB”, “NX”, “OLD”, “OL”, “AMB”,
“AM”, or “TU” is displayed in the data block.
1. When an automated interfacility handoff
action is initiated and “AMB” or “AM” is displayed
in the full data block, advise the other facility that a
disparity exists between the position declared by their ...



5-4-10. PREARRANGED COORDINATION
Prearranged coordination allowing aircraft under
your control to enter another controller’s area of
jurisdiction may only be approved provided
procedures are established and published in a facility
directive/LOA in accordance with FAAO 7210.3,
para 3-7-7, Prearranged Coordination.
NOTE-
Under no circumstances may one controller permit an
aircraft to enter another’s airspace without proper
coordination. Coordination can be accomplished by
several means; i.e., radar handoff, automated information
transfer, verbal, point-out, and by prearranged
coordination procedures identified in a facility directive
that clearly describe the correct application. Airspace
boundaries should not be permitted to become barriers to
the efficient movement of traffic. In addition, complete
coordination, awareness of traffic flow, and understanding
of each position’s responsibility concerning penetration of
another’s airspace cannot be overemphasized.

The FAA tells pilots that class B clearances are never implied. However
many pilots have gotten off during the investigation because the
controller vectored them into the class B. But it would sure be a pain
in the ass to be right in this situation.

Almost had this just the other day. Asked for a practice ILS-34 into HPN,
VFR, to a full stop. Controller said he had several IFR flights he needed
to work in before us and gave us delaying vectors. A few minutes later,
we're looking at the east wall of the inner ring of the NY Class B, so I
got on the radio and said, "We're going to need a clearance on this heading
in minute", which got us a vector in the other direction. Kind of a pity,
really; I don't think I've ever flow right over my house before, and I
missed the chance.

The GPS really lets you get lazy. It's got all the CBAS boundaries, so I
knew exactly where we were, but it doesn't have the floor altitudes. I
know the floor of the outer ring is 3000, but I sure don't have memorized
the floors of all the inner segments. I had to go scrambling for a
sectional to figure out if we were good or not.

Which GPS was it? Some units will give you the vertical limits of the
airspace as well.
