Re: Initial tower contact inbound with discrete squawk code
one discrepancy here, ATC is not required to say radar services are terminated when using the words "contact XXX Tower". In that case radar service is automatically terminated unless the tower is in a radar surface area such as Charlie or Bravo airspace. You are correct the tower 'should' ...

Re: Question about "join radial" without further clearance
"Resume own navigation" phraseology is never required until after an aircraft is established on its own navigation for the first time on each flight. This translates to all departing aircraft being vectored off the ground. Since you were assigned heading 220 you were never established on o...

Re: Non Towered IFR Void Time
you are correct. SAR wouldn't be called until you are 30 minutes overdue. The release guarantees IFR separation for 5-10 minutes depending on your departure divergence. If you depart outside of the window you're not guaranteed separation. You are expected to contact radar "as soon as practical&...

Re: handoffs during flight following cat-6
Hey John, Try to remember that all of this is stated in the AIM and various FAA publications. No need to get frustrated. Here's a quick break down: - On departure, you should expect to be switched to departure no later than one mile past the departure end of runway. - VFR arrivals should expect to b...

Re: IFR routing
...And then that routing was probably changed by SoCal to V8 PDZ PDZ270 V363 POXKU V8 SLI This has nothing to do with you as a pilot and there is no way for you to know. In congested areas, ATC sectors are smaller and much more specialized requiring traffic flows to be segregated. Each controller wi...

Re: STAR Clearances
Alot of enroute facilities still require the STAR to be restated at the arrival sector, however that requirement is by facility 7110 and not by FAAO 7110. I confirmed this in the 7110.65R (feb 2006). STAR clearances could be issued at anytime by any controller per the FAA.

Re: Exiting Class-B transition - when to resume own nav?
it all depends on your ATC clearance. If ATC says "Cleared through Bravo airspace via Coastal Route Southbound, maintain VFR at 5500 while in bravo airspace" then both altitude and route only apply in the bravo. If ATC had said "Cleared through bravo airspace, join the coastal route s...

Re: Flight Planning: KPSP - KSAN
If you are receiving radar services, then you are in two-way communication with approach control which means you can transition Charlie and Delta airspace unless verbally restricted by ATC.
You require a verbal clearance to enter A or B airspace and two-way communications to enter C or D airspace.
