Effectively, you've be flying V21 to the fix, then initiating the SIAP from there. However, they didn't, so you can't ;-) OK, I'll buy that. I wonder if Steven P. McNicoll buys it too. And I wonder what Socal Approach would have to say about it. (I think I'll go find out. What a great excuse to fly to Catalina!) Well, I did this experiment today. Flew VNY-AVX-FUL-VNY. It was a gorgeous day, though I didn't get to do as much sightseeing as I would have liked. All those approaches keep you busy! So coming out of AVX I was cleared V21 SLI Direct, but coming out of AVX I was immediately put on a 050 vector, which is not actually a vector to SLI but takes you about 15nm east. So I asked Socal if I lost comm just then what would he expect me to do? The controller seemed a little taken aback, as if lost comm. was not something that he ever thought about, but then improvised that he'd expect me to fly the vector until abeam SLI, then turn towards SLI. But he added that "no one ever flies their clearance around here. We always just give out vectors." So I guess the bottom line is that as a practical matter no one ever flies a PT in southern california because we always get vectors to final. rg |
