![]() wrote in message ... Let me elaborate: First of all, I am shooting the GPS 16 into KHKS. This involves going to Ocaro and then doing a semi-hold prior to the inbound leg. The inbound leg is Ocaro, which is about ten miles from HKS, then Gugwa, which is five miles (I guess co-located to Brenz.) Remember, I am single engine so my whole goal is to stay within glide distance. Outbound from the IAF of Ocaro in the pre-approach hold, I am 13 miles from the runway, so 4000 is where I want to be if my engine fails. I fly a Silver Eagle with a turbine, so a rapid descent is no problem. At night, I like the structure of an instrument approach, but I want the altitude for an emergency glide. Maybe I shouldn't call it a "practice approach" but by doing so, the controller knows where I am going and why. He asked me to descend to 2,000 while I am outbound from Ocaro, 13 miles from the runway, for traffic that is not a threat an clearly visible to me. I say, "If you don't mind, I'd like to stay higher until Gugwa." Controller says, "I do mind. Descend for traffic." So if I say "Unable to descend yet. Have traffic visually. Will maintain seperation." Can I continue on my merry way and ignore his command that I descend below a safe gliding distance. Or is he going is he going to report me to the FSDO? You're VFR in Class E airspace, if you're not happy tell him bye-bye and remain clear of Class C airspace. |
