So, you can't turn down a clearance until you know what it is, but you
can't know what it is until you know you've understood correctly, and you
can't know you've understood correctly until you've accepted the
clearance.

Hmmph.

If ATC gives me a new routing to copy, and I copy it and then a few
minutes later (after I check the charts) find it takes me sixty miles out
over the ocean, and then I lose comms making me unable to =negotiate= a
new clearance, I am =not= flying the one ATC attempted to con me into.
The same is true if I can't get a word in edgewise. Both circumstances
are common in the Northeast. Been there, done that, I'm not getting the
T-shirt soaking wet.


Perhaps it would be best if you stayed out of the IFR system.

Your previous comments were bad enough, but that is the stupidist comment I
have seen in a long time.

Given your attitude, the best answer to "ready to copy new clearence" is
"cannot comply".
