Lonely up there?
I've noticed that Boston Center's radar coverage get's quite spotty on the
NY/VT/NH area. No doubt because of the mountains. The MEA of 5000 is very strict in that 4,500 seems to be where I lose radio contact. I basically have to cancel before I descend if it's VMC. Marco "Robert Chambers" wrote in message ... Yeah flying from Niagara falls to Vermont on a weekday afternoon. There was not much chatter at all, no traffic alerts just handoffs. By the time I got handed off to Boston Center we were exchanging pleasantries and I told them after I had fed and fueled I'd continue VFR to Maine so they said "Call us when you get high enough to hear us and we'll be here" paul kgyy wrote: It appeared to be a long time since last hearing from ATC on a recent flight, and sure enough, "27D can you still hear us?". I still could, and they transferred me to a local approach control. Anybody ever just call them up to see if they forgot about you? I did that once over Toledo.

In a previous article, Robert Chambers said:
My sister however was impressed that not only did PVD approach let us through their airspace but also made sure we had "warm and fuzzy feelings" as well. First time I flew to Canada, my wife was impressed that Oshawa airport dimmed their lights up and down so I could pick them out. She was also impressed that Bradley Tower wanted to make sure we had a hotel when we went up there for parent's weekend. (I've explained ATIS to her before, so I think she was joking. I hope.) -- Paul Tomblin http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/ If God had intended man to fly he would have given him enough money for a Bonanza. |

"Paul Tomblin" wrote in message ... When I'm heading up to Ottawa, though, sometimes I have to call Wheeler Sack to remind them that they're supposed to give me a re-route (you can't file a flight plan with CYRIL in the US, but as you're approaching the ART VOR they give you a re-route to fly to CYRIL and then execute the CYRIL ONE arrival). You can file a flight plan with CYRIL in the US. Who said you couldn't? |

Fixes are filed regularly that aren't stored in some facility's computer. Fixes can be filed that don't even exist, you just have to know how to satisfy the computer. "Invalid route element identifier CYRIL OLAB quickpath command did not finish successfully Parameter 9: 'V2 KONDO ART CYRIL' is invalid" CYRIL is not stored so the computer doesn't know where to go after ART. You just need to file something between ART and CYRIL that the computer can process. The simplest would be the coordinates of CYRIL. File 'V2 KONDO ART 4458/7518 CYRIL' next time. The computer then has something after ART it can work with and it doesn't care what comes after that. |

Why are you even bothering to call a FSS? This is using DUATS. It's the only way I can get textual proof that I did it - if I phoned Buffalo AFSS and tried to enter the flight plan, you'd just deny that I did it right. -- Paul Tomblin http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/ It's not hard, it's just asking for a visit by the ****up fairy. -- Peter da Silva |

In your first message you said you can't file a flight plan with CYRIL in the US, we know that's not correct. Is the problem with DUATS or is it with FSS? |
