"Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in message ink.net... "John Clonts" wrote in message ... I should know better than to answer one of your "questions". But my answer is: In order to take off into IMC. If you're on the ground you're not looking for a pop-up. Ok, I'd like to learn something from this... When you call ATC to get a clearance... ....if you're in the air and you've filed through FSS, when you call ATC, its not a pop-up. ....if you're in the air but not already filed through FSS, it's considered a "pop-up" ....if you're not in the air and not already filed through FSS, it's not considered a "pop-up"? Is there a different name you call it? I see that "pop-up" is not in the PC/G. I assume that it's also not defined in 7110. That being the case we're talking about an informal term anyway. I'm just curious (and surprised) that a call from the ramp to CD for an IFR clearance (not already on file) is NOT considered by controllers a "pop-up". Thanks, John Clonts Temple, Texas N7NZ |

"Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in message nk.net... "John Clonts" wrote in message ... As was the original poster, in the material you clipped. Better read it again. He's airborne. Not the way I read it: "Can Clearance Delivery (through an RCO on the ground) give a pop-up IFR instead of Approach? So far I have found that they ask me to call Approach when airborne, or file with FSS." Andrew, could you clarify whether you meant you were referring to calling the CD RCO from the ramp, or from the air? Cheers, John Clonts Temple, Texas N7NZ |

"Andrew Sarangan" wrote in message om... Let me clarify the question. On a VFR training flight, we encountered unforecasted ceilings of about 1500'. So we landed at a nearby uncontrolled airport. There is no RCO to FSS. In order to call FSS we would have to taxi to the ramp, shutdown and find a telephone. But there was a remote communication outlet to the nearby class C clearance delivery. So we decided to call them instead. They asked me to file with FSS or call them (Approach) when airborne. So we departed VFR and got our clearance. My question is, why could't the clearance delivery guy give us the same clearance? I realize that the proper procedure is to file with FSS, but what prevents CD from giving a pop-up clearance? I know that it is possible for CD to give an IFR clearance (even without the flight plan already on file). I think Steve may be saying that in such a scenario, they don't refer to it as a "pop-up", because you're not actually in flight at the time. But I know that other pilots I talk to would refer to it as a pop-up just like you did. And I don't think "pop-up" is an official term anyway. Cheers, John Clonts Temple, Texas N7NZ |

If you're wondering how there can be a ****ing contest over the definition of an informal term, you obviously havin't been hanging around these newsgroups too long :-) |

It's my observation, from context, that most pilots consider a pop-up to be any airborne pickup of an IFR clearance. I share that opinion. |

The same thing that prevents ground control from giving you a takeoff clearance. He could but he is not responsible for that position. That's why FSS says "ATC clears..." when they relay a clearance to you. That's how you know that it wasn't FSS that actually made up the clearance. |

Some would call that a pop up some wouldn't. ...if you're not in the air and not already filed through FSS, it's not considered a "pop-up"? Is there a different name you call it? Yeah, a pain in the ass. |
