Default RNAV vectors

Anybody ever get vectors to final for RNAV approaches?


Yes, I have been offered vectors to final for an RNAV/GPS approach a few
times in both the northeast and mid-Atlantic (US) areas. In all cases I
declined the offer and instead requested vectors to a specific IAF.

These days I even save the back and forth game by including the direct-to
IAF request within my first call to the facility.

"Bonanza XXX, level 5000 with current weather, requesting RNAV/GPS 24
approach Dunkirk and requesting direct IYZZY (some crazy IAF name) when
able."
