a couple of questions...
Also, remember that TRSA service isn't mandatory. Once airborne, and
outside of the Charlie airspace, you can say "negative TRSA services." Cheers, Wiz GE wrote: Let me start by saying that I consider myself a new pilot, although I've had my certificate for 2 years and a little over a 100 hours. I had to take some time off from flying when my plane was damaged by my partner, then totaled by Katrina. (I've made a few posts with regards to the above.) Anyway, I am back flying again, so please indulge a question or two. I know this is somewhat backward from most people, but I did my training and most of my flying from a controlled field. It's actually a class D situated inside of a class C. Uncontrolled fields are a little foreign to me. I am flying tomorrow to see a friend. The field is class E, but situated inside of a TRSA. Getting in and out doesn't bother me, I'm okay with that. The issue is that my friend wants me to take him on a local sightseeing trip. No problem, I've got a map and a GPS, I can navigate. My problem is that I don't know what to tell the TRSA guys once I get airborne. What do I say? Do I tell them an area I want to fly to, or just a general direction? Also, there is a larger commercial airport nearby (still class E). Of course I want to avoid that airport, but what's the best way? Should I just plot a course around it or will they want to vector me? Any other help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help... |

Oops, rereading I realized the class C is only an issue at your home
field. You need only say "negative TRSA services" on getting airborne, though personally, I like all the help I can get. Cheers, Wiz Wiz wrote: Also, remember that TRSA service isn't mandatory.
