Filing Flight Plan
There has been a lively discussion going on in another thread, “Can You Decline a Sid.” In order not to hijack that discussion, I am going to start another thread that will be over some similar topics as in the original.
See the scenario below and respond to the questions.
ATC (1) If you were the sector controller, what clearance would you issue to Cedar City FSS for relay to N843XB? You are aware that radar coverage North of PGA is marginal to non-existent below FL180.
ATC (2) If you already have traffic at the 65 DME NE of PGA, SW bound on V208 level at 14000, what clearance would you issue to Cedar City FSS for relay to N843XB?
Pilot (1) If you were the pilot, would you be attempting this flight?
Pilot (2) If yes, what is your plan for terrain and obstacle clearance?
Pilot (3) You know that the initial part of this flight will be in uncontrolled airspace. What services do you expect ATC to provide to you prior to entering controlled airspace?
Scenario:
N843XB, C182T/A has filed IFR flight plan departing from Cal Black Memorial (U96) located near Halls Crossing Utah. Requested route of flight is U96 PGA V208 JLI SEE. Requested altitude is 16000.
AWOS weather at U96 is 900 scattered, 1200 broken and solid overcast at 2100 AGL. Visibility is 1 ½ mile in light rain showers. Temperature is 58F. Cedar City FSS has several PIREPs over Southern Utah and Northern Arizona indicating there are several layers, broken to overcast, and the top of the cloud layers is 17000 to 18000 AMSL. No reports of icing.
The pilot is in contact with Cedar City FSS via the RCO and is requesting his clearance.
