Contacting clearance
Posted: Thu Jun 12, 2014 12:46 am
When I did my real world ppl training at Santa Barbara, every flight began with a call to clearance delivery, even if we were just going pattern work. However, the transcript for the v1 rating starts with a call to ground. Is this different between airports, or was this a quirk of my instructor? V2 and V3 ratings do call clearance -- is that just because flight following is being requested?
Also, class D airports have clearance frequencies listed -- would you ever call one for a vfr flight?
