Cleared Direct Albuquerque - Resume the Departure/Own Nav?
Posted: Sat Aug 04, 2018 1:02 pm
Hello everyone,
On the evening of 8/3/2018 I was cleared for takeoff out of KABQ. I turned left to 290º while flying the LARGO3 departure, Zuni transition. As I rolled out on 290º, I was told "Clipper 576, cleared direct Albuquerque". I flew direct to ABQ, and as I was within 3 nm I thought I might ask for further instruction. I did not, and within a few minutes after passing ABQ, the controller advised me I was 10 NM south of course (the Zuni transition is 255º outbound from ABQ to ZUN). I responded explaining I was cleared direct ABQ, and had not received any further routing. He responded telling me it was implied I would resume own navigation once hitting ABQ, then he re-vectored me.
I am under the impression that I should wait for ATC to tell me "upon reaching ABQ, resume the Largo3 departure". I feel like other controllers have used this instruction on similar situations in the past.
Thanks for any clarification you can give.
