The controller has spoken with several other aircraft, but hasn't spoken with you since communications were established. At what point are you no longer maintaining communications and thus in violation of FAR 91.130(c)(1)?" Never. You need the authorization to *enter* the airspace. Once you have entered, you are being provided services by the controller until you depart the controlled airspace. yours, Michael -- Michael and MJ Houghton | Herveus d'Ormonde and Megan O'Donnelly | White Wolf and the Phoenix Bowie, MD, USA | Tablet and Inkle bands, and other stuff | http://www.radix.net/~herveus/ |

Class C airspace is 20 miles in diameter at most. How much time is required for a typical piston single to transit that distance? Four and a half hours. After that, he may run out of fuel. The pilot might be able to hold out for six or seven, depending on tanks and power settings. The pilot is not required to transit in a straight line. The controller is not required to intercede if the pilot is circling inside the ring. The pilot is not required to inform the controller (unless asked) of his routing. The controller is not required to ask. Pilot takes off, calls the controller and is told to remain clear. Pilot circles the outer ring for four hours and fifteen minutes. Pilot calls again and the controller responds with: N1234 stand by. Can he enter? What if he landed and took off again sometime in those last four hours.
