news:1119443531.891507@sj-nntpcache-3... ATC maintains the responsibility for IFR-IFR separation unless you hear "maintain visual separation from that traffic...". But they are unlikely to make that statement unless you tell them you have the aircraft in sight. So perhaps that is their motivation for the follow-up radio calls asking if that's the case. |

: Portland Approach Was Calling Out Traffic, Traffic 10:00 3,000' I Responded Portland We are at 5,000' Solid IFR Unable to See Traffic! Dose This Happen a Lot While IFR???? Was My Response Correct? This means someone was flying VFR not too far from your position. It happens often when you are in and out of IMC mixing with other VFR traffic. |

1... This means someone was flying VFR not too far from your position. For what it's worth, there was nothing in the original post that suggested that the traffic being reported was VFR versus IFR, and at 3000' IFR was a very real possibility. Even when separation services are being provided between two airplanes, ATC may report one as traffic to the other (and often does). Pete |

Congrats on your instrument rating and your IFR flight. BTW, in case you fly IFR into KAST during the spring and fall times, bear in mind that the ILS into KAST seems to take you right thru some bad icing spot in the entire area. The mountains east of AST lifts the wet ocean air and creates icing condition very easily. Summer time is fine with icing levels higher. NW_PILOT wrote: KVUO To KAST Well, After getting my instrument rating 2 months ago and just playing local in my 150 getting used to Popping in and out of the clouds totally different than the hood I decided it was a good day for a real IFR X-C not a very far one but ceilings were 1,300' local and 2,500' at destination reported with 3 to 5 miles visibility and to be around 2,000 all day diminishing late afternoon . Well called in and got my clearance took then about 15 min to get to me, Nice simple Clearance Cleared to KAST, Via BTG Vortac As Filed, Maintain 4,000 expect 6,000 10 Min. Depart Freq 124.35 Code XXXXX, Switch To Advisory Contact Departure Airborne. All is going good then oops My PTT Switch Got Stuck at about 2,500' solid IFR figured it out got back radios about my expected time to climb, was asked N7676U how do you read told them had a stuck mike they said ok and to & Climb Maintain 6,000 turn to Heading XXX Cleared Direct KAST resume Own Navigation direct to KAST. I broke out on top for a bit at about 5,300' what a feeling and sight. I Was told so long contact center on XXX.XX was told continue present heading expect radar vectors to the ILS 26 KAST About 15 min later they were vectoring me around, Told me to hold heading until established report once established on LOC then switch to advisory return back to this Frequency to cancel IFR. Now what a sight to see descending through the clouds, at about 1,400' started to break out 1,100' with airport clearly right infront of us my indicator looked like it was a set of sights on a rifle!!! Switched back to Center and told them have the airport cancel IFR they asked me where I broke out I told them they said thanks Squawk 1200 good day. Return from KAST to KVUO Reporting Clear At KVUO Climbed in the airplane Called and got my Clearance Cleared to KVUO as Filed they gave me 5 Min to get it in the air and contact them for an expire time, We departed KAST and was told to climb at max climb hahahahaha I was struggling to do 600fpm as I was pushing gross. Was In the clouds at about 1,100' Solid until about 5,000 then patchy in and out. Was a bit more turbulent on the way back to KVUO than on the way to KAST. OK Now center has been radar vectoring me all over the place for traffic, good practice of situational awareness (I Have GPS so I Cheated) they told me to resume my own navigation direct to BTG VOR contact & Portland Approach On 124.35 good day, I Contacted Portland told me to fly heading XXX Direct to BTG VOR Expect 4,000 in 10 Min, Continued I am told to hold and maintain 4,000 Expect 3,000 in 10 min. 5 min later told me descend to 3,000, and told me I cannot have the approach in to KVUO as KPDX is departing in that direction gave me many options since it was VFR at KVUP I took vectors to KVUO, fly heading XXX expect radar vectors to KVUO, report when VFR about 5 min later I was told to descend to 2,000 about 2,300' broke out to VFR. Reported VFR and Lake Vancouver Insight, Canceled IFR went Direct To KVUO. All I can say is This Instrument Flying Is the ****!!! Way better than using Foggles or a Hood and Doing Approaches All Day Long. Being surrounded by white & grey then seeing that airport pop out at you is a rush beyond rushes. I am slowly making my IFR flight's further and further. But progressing at my own comfort level, and as stamina & comfort level builds I will be going further and further in to the soup. I don't think I will ever fly many places VFR , IFR is way simpler and a whole lot more fun except for no music!!!! Learned a Lot On This Little Trip! Just a few Questions For The Pro's??? Portland Approach Was Calling Out Traffic, Traffic 10:00 3,000' I Responded Portland We are at 5,000' Solid IFR Unable to See Traffic! Dose This Happen a Lot While IFR???? Was My Response Correct? 5 Min Clearance Void Time, Dose this Happen a Lot, kinda puts the pressure on ya! Dose anyone use any products like Visine ect for their eyes for extended periods of IFR time? |

If the other traffic were IFR, then what is the purpose of ATC pointing out
that traffic? "Peter Duniho" wrote in : "Andrew Sarangan" wrote in message 1... This means someone was flying VFR not too far from your position.

I thought the purpose was to maintain visual separation from the other
traffic. If both traffic are under IFR, then separation is automatically provided, so I still don't see what the purpose of pointing out the other traffic is.

ATC doesn't know all the time if you're IMC or VMC. Even if the traffic
in your area is also IFR and therefore under their control they still may point it out to you so it doesn't come as a surprise when you get within visual distance of each other. I was flying IFR in the northeast a few years back at 5000' ATC called out "a string of sixes 4 miles 12 O'clock". As it turned out we were between layers of clouds between 4500 and 6000' or so. In a minute or so I saw 3 Dash-8's going the opposite direction a couple of thousand feet above me. There was no collision hazard of course but it was good that the controller told me because I might have been surprised to see them otherwise.

What is a "six"? Jose r.a.student stripped - I don't follow it. -- You may not get what you pay for, but you sure as hell pay for what you get. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |

If you report the traffic in sight ATC can tell you to maintain visual separation, thus relieving him or her of separation duties and allowing less separation distance. Otherwise, it's also an enhancement to safety if you and ATC are both assuring separation. |
