I've been flying on helicopetr routes over NYC for years now with terrific controllers everywhere but got hung up with a controller last week and I need help understanding his arguments for refusing me access.

Looking for any experience/info on their program. thanks Mike PP-ASEL

The profile shows a transition from a diagonally-downward flight path to a horizontal flight path at AUG 1.9....
