You have to tell me your secret man. How do you get those awesome clearances over the city? Thursday on a trip ABE-ISP I got vectored south to sandy hook and then my altitude options with kennedy were 500 or 5500.

Fencer agreed! Planning a massive trip for next summer/fall, and the success of said trip depends greatly on the clearances I can get. Kennedy being one of them...

It's really easy. Just know exactly what you want, be nice, keep comms short and clear, listen for a minute before keying mike and have plan/route B if clearance denied. Out ATC are the best of the best and they could sniff a novice from first contact. :) Learn words WILCO and COPY because you can not read back all that block of info they fire at you.

Make sure you have all your on course headings handy. If you say standby and start punching buttons to get your heading they may send you their way :)

It's really fun. If you are in the hood give me a yell we go as a flight.

Sounds like a good plan for tomorrow morning, I work afternoon. I can come to KISP/whatever closer to you and we go for a ride. Time is yours if you have certificate, no need for fuel but... there is no free lunch in America and it's on you :D

Post here the place and time the earlier the merrier.
