Air mass TS 5-10 miles from departure end of the runway. Is there an accepted way to get ATC to expedite you turning on course, Preferably before takeoff?
Tell them you are not going to fly through it. They'll either give you something around it or not release youAir mass TS 5-10 miles from departure end of the runway. Is there an accepted way to get ATC to expedite you turning on course, Preferably before takeoff?
Usually, I am at a controlled field. Do I tell tower to tell Departure?Tell them you are not going to fly through it. They'll either give you something around it or not release you
Nah. They know who they need to talk to work things out.Usually, I am at a controlled field. Do I tell tower to tell Departure?

No terrain. Just a question that popped into my pea brain the other day. Saw a jet depart the other day and it almost immediately turned to avoid the TS. Never had the issue, yet. Just preparing for the eventuality.Do u have terrain to deal with? If not I’d let tower know what you’re looking for.
BTDT many times. Just spit it out. Tell them what you need to do and if that won't work for them you'll have to delay your takeoff. It helps to have weather radar.
The only time this could have happened to me, the tower alerted us.Air mass TS 5-10 miles from departure end of the runway. Is there an accepted way to get ATC to expedite you turning on course, Preferably before takeoff?
There was a heavy Aer Lingus A330 departure from New York that got into a bind over this.. ATC couldn't figure out why they accepted the clearance if they couldn't actually fly it..Don't accept a clearance you are not willing to fly. Tell the tower you need a different heading after takeoff. They should be able to work something out with approach. If they say unable, that means approach told them no.
