"Remain clear of controlled airspace." (= keep away from my patch until I've sorted my £hit out here, boy!)
I generally aim to do exactly that, unless ATC say I'm allowed in. That's why I'm calling.
"Terrain separation is your own responsibility." (= I have no real idea how high the ground is round abouts where you say you are, and to be honest, I've no time to find out).
Too right! Even if ATC says fly right into the ground, I'm not so stupid as to do it without an argument.
(Yes, I know, you have to say it but it always grates....).
