Regs regarding "VFR flight following?" (also: "need to vent")
Ok. I have two questions for Steve, the guy who claims to be a
controller, 1- Is this correct?????? 2- are you really a controller??? Ben She was wrong. Ask for her phone number and have a calm, rational, chat with her (or her supervisor) on the phone after you land. ****ing contests on the frequency never lead to anything good. Quote her the AIM, Chapter 3, section 2, paragraph 3-2-1-d, which say: "VFR Requirements. It is the responsibility of the pilot to insure that ATC clearance or radio communication requirements are met prior to entry into Class B, Class C, or Class D airspace. The pilot retains this responsibility when receiving ATC radar advisories. (See 14 CFR Part 91.)"

I think Steven said it best (paraphrasing): don't ask, just tell them you're terminating radar services. Yes, but... I was on flight following on Friday, and said I was going lower (as I was approaching my destination). The controller suggested I delay my descent for arrivals. I could have descended anyway, but what's the point of VFR advisories if one ignores the advice? - Andrew |

I was responding to a situation postulated by the OP. DGB |
