IFR departure questions
Posted: Tue Mar 19, 2019 9:09 pm
I have two questions that came up during a flight from KSBA to KOXR. I know I probably should have asked the controller, but his hands were quite full and didn't want to add confusion.
1) At clearance I was instructed to fly RWY heading up to 500 and then right turn to 120. But tower, when clearing for take off, said :"fly rwy heading". I assumed this new instruction voided the "at 500 feet right turn to 120", and I simply flew rwy heading waiting for additional instructions. Was that correct?
2) I filed my plan as P28A with equipment type A (transponder and DME, but no GPS). However, the controller gave me instructions to fly direct to intersection KWANG. I have foreflight with moving map, so I could comply, but I wonder whether I should have said 'unable'.
Thanks for helping.
