Line Up and Wait
So on Sunday, I flew from Albuquerque (KAEG) back to Brighton, CO (CO12, just north of KDEN). I got flight following just north of Albuquerque, and had hand-offs all the way to Denver. About 4 miles south of Denver's class Bravo, I realized that I hadn't gotten clearance into the Bravo, nor had I been handed off to approach.
I quickly asked center for clearance, which was denied (cuz its not their airspace), so I had to do an immediate 180. During the 180, Center gave me a hand-off to approach, who then cleared me into the Bravo.
So, my question is did I miss something here? Should I have prompted for the hand-off? Seems to me like center forgot about me.
I guess I did learn to make sure to have that clearance more than a minute out.
P.S. I like smilies. I'll do a writeup of the whole trip soon.
