If you put "request practice instrument approach at destination
airport" in the comments in your flight plan, it might help you get the
actual instrument approach.


You'll still have to tell him which actual instrument approach you'd like.
You can do that on initial contact and skip the remark.



If it's VFR the ATC guy only budgets enough
time to clear you for the visual.


Let's see, "Cleared visual approach to Bermuda Dunes Airport" versus
"Cleared VOR Charlie approach to Bermuda Dunes Airport". How much more time
does it take to issue the VOR-C clearance? A tenth of a second? Less?



You go around requesting an
instrument approach and he might get kinda ****ed off, cause he was
planning on you taking the visual and he's done with you.


Well, so what if he gets kinda ****ed off?
