Thanks, Reece. That makes sense. And if they don't need to talk to me, they can let me know on initial contact. I appreciate the guidance.

I thought I knew this but now am confused. Please assume that I have just exited Los Angeles Bravo on the mini-route heading north. I am at 2500 feet and have been given permission from SMO to transit their airspace. Once over SMO, I head direct to Burbank at 2500 feet. I assume that I need not ...

Quick questions. But before I ask, let me say how thrilled I am to be a member of the PilotEdge community. Nowhere can one receive this type of training and, take my word for it please, this type of training is gold. Now on to my question after a short background:
1. I am preparing for my V-3 and ...
