CAS transit
If I want to transit CAS (assume class D) I call approach / radar and ask for VFR clearance to transit - which is usually given depending on traffic. However, I have an IMCr so :-
1. Am I more likely to get a faster / better clearance if I ask for "IFR transit" or "vectored transit" - and is there such a thing?
2. If the answer to (1) is "only VFR", and I want to transit CAS but it is partially in IMC, if I continue through the IMC, am I doing so unlawfully? ie. do I need to request descent / climb to avoid the IMC or can I become IFR part way through my VFR transit?
