| Given what happened on Sunday, I am surprised at some of these comments. I recommend all GA pilots to visit and spend an hour, pref on Sunday, at one of the ATC units above, if they havent already done so. Arrange a club visit, you will be welcomed, I'm sure. Following that, and if you are safety concious, you will no longer be offended by a 'stand-by'. [climbs onto soap-box] Plan your route around, with the transit as an alternate. If you have planned a transit, with no alternate, and you are denied, in my view that is very poor piloting. [climbs down again] Fly safe. Dont be bold. JAI. |
