Yeah. But FWIW, on the outside chance that some one is actually navigating with NDB, and the Controller has a clue how to issue Clearances to said pilot, 'bearing' in it self doesn't tell the whole story. ‘Course to’ enters the story. 4. Nondirectional beacons. State the course to or the...

If that's what your gonna do then remember to fly away from the needle instead of to it if you are going to be flying To the VOR and you put the Radial at the top

Ya looked pretty thin in those pics from Rough River.

I don't think that is correct. If you are going to intercept and fly outbound from the VOR on the Radial then yes, you put it at the top. If you are going to intercept and fly inbound to the VOR you want the reciprocal at the top. Easiest way to do that is put the Radial at the bottom. Don't...

Like LORAN was

You’re VFR so you are at least 1000 feet above any terrain down there. When Controllers do this it is because you are below the MVA/MIA. You could be many thousands of feet above any terrain anywhere near you because of the size of MVA/MIA sectors. Particularly the MIA video maps Centers use.

FAR 1.1 ‘Over-the-top means above the layer of clouds or other obscuring phenomena forming the ceiling.’ If you were VFR above a solid layer and could not see any terrain, what do you think a Controller might/should/could do when you answer the question ‘do you have the terrain in sight’ with negative.

Is there some rule that NASA can’t inform the FAA of a problem in the system?

I know it happens. I was being kinda snarky when I said “He actually did that” to stimulate conversation on the subject. I spent 23 years of my 30 as a Controller at Approach Controls and a Center. I never asked the question and don’t remember hearing it from another Controller. Think about...

Yeah. If you knew there were suitable ones along your route of flight maybe factor it in. And then pray your radio doesn’t go nips up if you need a Radar Approach to get down.

Say you were ‘over the top’ and said you didn’t see it. What would you expect them to do?

No. That’s still there.

I found a list with 104 airports with Radar Approaches. 48 with PAR.

Probably, or tell you to climb.

One that irks me is when on Flight Following they ask if you have the terrain in sight. I want to ask what would you do if I said no. Never did. I don’t fly much anymore, been a couple years and most likely won’t again. Somebody wanna do it and get back here with their answer.

How many threads are you going to start? https://pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/new-here-glad-i-found-this-place.147063/#post-3513367

That has nothing to do with @flyingron ‘s post #13 that started this discussion. It’s in Chapter 10. Emergencies. But it appears from reading on that quite a few Controllers do apply it to a simple request for IFR when airborne. Either as a pop up or already with the Controller on Flight...

He actually did that? Ask you if you were rated and equipped? Have you ever been asked that when you’re on the ground requesting Clearance?

I had to raise my deductible from 1000 to 7000 just keep it from going up only 25%
