Too much information for ATC?
The other day I wanted to fly VFR across RITTS, which is both the LOM for
the ILS, and the origin for the NDB approach, to PAE. I was traveling east at right angles to the approach course. I decided to call Center, who handles approaches in these parts. Although it was clear VFR and I know he could see me on his scope, I thought it would be polite to tell him my intentions and give him a confirmed altitude. He gave me a bored Roger and asked if I wanted FF. To the controllers in this group, was that a marginally helpful call to make, neutral, or annoying? Should I have only bothered if I had heard another craft setting up an approach? -- David Brooks |
