"Roy Smith" wrote in message ... Controllers are not pilots (some are, but it's not a requirement and most are not), and don't understand the nuances of things like GPS database currency. Putting "VFR GPS" in the remarks, while having no official legal significance, says to the controller, "I want to be given direct clearances". You ask for them, he'll give then to you. Then it's up to you to decide if you can safely execute them. If you can't, say, "unable", and he'll come up with a different clearance. Why ask for something you can't safely execute?
