@Shawn If those instructions are in relation to radar approach services, then yes. The tower still calls sequence on the runway regardless of status of aircraft (IFR or VFR).

Once I acknowledge cancellation of IFR, I do not expect the pilot to follow instructions I issued. My responsibilities for providing radar services end, unless I offer them in the form of flight following. Occasionally, I'll let the pilot know about aircraft in the vicinity.

I've seen and participated in several threads related to Chicago TRACON on this forum. I've said before that the biggest change was operational, not cultural. It would appear that folklore remains a popular pastime. In 2013 the Chicago TRACON airspace underwent a major change when ORD shifted...

Even the busy bravo busts won't get too much fanfare...unless degrades safety of the operation. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

If you were in the Bravo, you must maintain the altitude assigned until advised, "resume normal VFR altitudes."

Purposely quoting this information, to highlight what constitutes two way radio communications. To the OP...don't feel bad about posting any questions on here. Chances are, there are a dozen other lurkers/readers/what have you on this forum that have the same confusion about airspace...

I'm wondering if there might be a WINGS or FAAST program in the area that could cover these topics. Maybe you can coordinate a group attendance, or you can coordinate a visit to your local ATC facility. It might not be as beneficial for you as it would be your friends who could use a...

The FAA can't staff the facilities it has, yet you think the agency is trying to "spawn" jobs? I've heard some misinformed crap before, but your jobs theory is hilarious. If your "conclusions" came as a result of someone's report and not your imagination, I suggest you reevaluate your...

What does union/non-union have to do with addressing "ATC problems"?

Incorrect. A more factual statement would be, "Lockmart has consolidated facilities and personnel in the name of 'cost savings,' but at the cost of intangible experience and service provided." Anyone who dealt with an FAA v. LM briefer will tell you FSS has not improved.

Nobody who works air traffic cares if you say "with you." Here's what's important. State your callsign, ALWAYS. Read backs, initial check in...ALWAYS State your current altitude on initial check on to a new facility. Assigned altitude as well if different from current altitude...

Good training technique!

We don't know what happened, that's why you can't use this example. At least not in any serious discussion about the matter. What was the exchange prior to the altitude instruction? Did the pilot ask for 2,000 feet or was this an unsolicited climb? Where exactly did this take place...

What about that situation? I took that situation to be what it was, nothing more than a humorous story to tack onto Alex's humorous story. Big deal. Read post 16 in the thread. He gets it.

There are a lot of things going on in this thread, so please bear with me. Remember, you are the VFR PIC. You are the sole person responsible for the safety of your flight. My job is to ensure you don't engage in spot welding in the skies. My job doesn't alleviate the VFR PIC's job of...

It isn't.
