If you’re departing IFR and you haven’t been switched to departure within about 90 seconds after takeoff, just say something like “N123 is climbing through 3000” just to alert the controller in case they are distracted with something else.ajs wrote:Thanks for the info. Follow-up question, which I'm guessing is just as applicable in the real world: what if this happens, say, after taking off from a class Bravo airport? Do I not need to worry about checking in immediately because they should have me on radar anyway, so if there's a traffic issue they'd let me know?
