"As Filed"?! Are you kidding me? Seems lately that ATC refuses to give me anything "as filed". The other night, I got a full-route clearance from FFZ-to ELP that had only ONE difference on the departure from what I had filed, and they might as well have given it to me "as filed", as the vector was straight to the fix I'd filed for. :banghead:
Well, if you file it the way their system wants then you won't have to worry about that![]()
It's a very rare thing for me to hear anything but "as filed."
the method that I have used:
Cleared to

KFCM RV 3 125.0 1234
cleared to the flying cloud airport, via radar vectors, altitude is 3000, contact departure on 125.0, squawk 1234
