If you work in an enroute facility the cartographer might be able to get you a current version.

It's interesting the difference in wording. Para a1 of the AIM says "only" on known traffic. Para b1 omits that word. Regardless, the verbiage in the 7110.65 omits "only" and is the controlling document.

"As it stands, the only 'responsibility' the controller has is to not deny the clearance for reasons other than traffic." Source?

What is all this runway and "cleared to land" stuff you speak of? (Says the enroute guy):)

My posts were not about changing the regulations or CYA. My posts were about people controlling air traffic and clearing an aircraft for a procedure that is NA at night when it is nighttime.

"But to refuse to give the clearance if the pilot says he wants the Approach anyway, no, I do not think it should be refused." I would not clear you for an approach that I knew was not authorized, nor would I advise anyone else to. If FSDO asked you under what authority you used to request and...

"Mr Doe, you said you knew the I-L-S runway two eight was not authorized at night. It was twelve fifteen in the morning and yet you cleared November one two three four for an approach you knew was no good." I'm not talking about a note that changes the approach minimums, but instead an entire...

I've only cooked it once (it turned out great). Using the advice of someone more experienced at cooking this, I had the butcher cut the bone assembly off of the roast but include it when I brought it home. I tied the bones back to the roast for cooking so I got the advantage of the flavor and...

Callsign?

I read the paragraph and while I agree that it puts an obligation on the pilot to comply with restrictive notes, I don't see it as absolving the controller of responsibility. Your thoughts? "2. Approach clearances are issued based on known traffic. The receipt of an approach clearance does not...

I read that the Starship construction was revolutionary for the time and had to be over built to achieve certification. The certified aircraft was overweight and therefore didn't meet performance expectations. I wonder what would happen if it were built today with so much more experience in...

When ERAM applies an adapted route, it looks at the current route,and if it doesn't match exactly, applies a pref route. So if your route contains a waypoint where a pref route starts, but is not explicitly in the route, ERAM will display the pref route starting with the waypoint and continuing...

The computer processes your route as three phases: departure, enroute, and arrival. For departure, ERAM can apply an adapted departure route (ADR). It looks at aircraft type, requested altitude, and route of flight and applies an appropriate departure route. Similarly, ERAM applies an adapted...

My former facility had 121.5 at 4 (IIRC) different sites. All were monitored, most of time in the speaker instead of the controller's headset. Any transmission could be heard by most of the controllers in the area.

The answer to the question: it depends. If your proposed departure point is 5 miles west of the center boundary and your field route is eastbound, both facilities should get a proposal. Either could activate it. The actual parameter (proposed boundary crossing time in HOST, I'm not sure of it's...

So "Filing" was the incorrect word. Please replace that with, "Request flight following and include,"

I think the, "I'm following highway 276," works better with approach controllers who have a more intimate knowledge of the local geography. For enroute facilities, probably not so much. Filing a few waypoints along your approximate route of flight, especially if you're going to be talking to...

If you can give them a few waypoints near your intended route of flight, it will help with flight plan processing.

All of our MOAs required IFR traffic to be routed around unless it was above/below the active altitudes. Most of our MOAs were adjacent to airspace owned by other facilities. Coordination with those facilities was required prior to the airspace going active. That virtually eliminated the...

I would recommend fly under. If your GPS fails, ATC can give vectors. If you need to climb for VOR reception, ATC can modify the floor of the MOA to allow a higher altitude.
