Just go to chapter 7 of the .65 and you can see the rules for the

There's nothing applicable there.

I still contend that a pilot must comply with instructions given to him
by any air traffic controller.

As a ridiculous example, if I'm south of Chicago and I contact SoCal
approach, and they tell me to follow a helicopter for landing at MIA, I
must comply.

91.123(b) supports this and is regulatory. Nothing else, including
7110.65 seems to specifically contradict this.


What Newps is tryin to tell you... is the controller doesnt have the
authority to give you instructions outside of his area/jurisdiction. The
"administrator of the FAA" is the authority behind 7110. Therefore he is
not "exercising air traffic control" in the areas outside of his
jurisdiction and authority.

In rebuttal to your ridiculous example, You would need to advise SoCal
approach that you will need to land for fuel prior to following the helo
all the way to Miami :P
