Good for you. Nonetheless, you don't set policy for the FAA.


Who does?



Those who do have kept the context going quite nicely by placing in the
AIM the FAA
definition of "when necessary."


Where does the FAA define "when necessary"? The AIM is not regulatory.



It sounds like you have little regard for those folks in DC who write ATC
policy. That doesn't seem real healthy for a working controller.


No doubt it seems that way to those without a good knowledge of ATC.
