Pre-Flight
I was flying ifr over New Jersey yesterday in a single when I overheard a conversation between a Northbound twin and McGuire Approach. The twin was looking for a routing over NJ and NY rather than off the Jersey Coast. The gist of the controller's reply was that New York Tracon would not accept twins over New York City. He repeated this statement several times. The only alternatives offered the twin were a route off the Jersey Coast or a route over Eastern Pennsylvania and North of NYC.
There were no tfrs in NY as far as I know. Anyone have an explanation?
I hope it's not a security thing. (Especially useless since the vfr corridor up the Hudson River is still open and doesn't discriminate against twins.)
