How about a scenario Dick, YHBA, no ATC comms on the ground except for the RPT's with big powerful radio's. Weather just above the take off minima. It is genuine IMC, and Class E begins within 20 seconds of wheels off. What do I do?

A: Take off and circle at 700AMSL ? or worse intercept track?
B: Bust the CTA deliberately while obtaining a code and clearance and keep her climbing through to 3500 or so?
C: Phone a friend? Call ATC by phone and get a clearance.
D: Turn transponder off and fly into E then G and tell nobody?

Give ASA the tools by rules and budget to have the infrastructure in place and sure thing.

By the way, I have sat on the grass at OSH with a few airline guys at OSH chewing the fat over some of your ideas on how they do things, and they can't comprehend it. As for jet RPT operations in class G……their eyes do this >>
