How extensive? Joe Baugher has extensive records ny serial number online, but not a great deal of information on individual aircraft. 51-7416 Cessna L-19A Bird Dog, redesignated O-1A in 1962 Accepted by USAF. Delivered to US Army. Last US Army report 15 Sep 68. Registered Dec 15, 1975 as...

I have, although not cover to cover.

No.

I would tell ATC that I have a medical emergency and that I'm diverting to OMN.

That was rude. But a void time, by itself, doesn't really help in that situation. If nothing is heard from the aircraft after the void time passes there's an overdue aircraft situation to deal with.

Reread it, what about it?

See message #22.

Yes.

I've issued many clearances at non-towered fields without either. Untowered airport with an RTR (Remote Transmitter/Receiver) on the field, departing aircraft calls at the end of the runway ready to go. Issue the clearance, readback correct, released for departure.

It's unambiguous but far from logical. What's the purpose on an altitude assignment in airspace where ATC does not provide separation?

Yes you can, if you are in Class B airspace, Class C airspace, including the Outer Area, or a TRSA. ATC provides separation to VFR aircraft in these areas so must have the tools needed to effect separation, assignment of altitudes and vectors. Elsewhere it's just traffic advisories and safety...

Still exists but a bit of a mystery why it does.

Working from memories of 40+ years ago. In the center, you could enter a heading and a variable number of minutes to examine where it would put the aircraft. Never used it, waste of time.

Not all instructions. This discussion has focused on assigning altitudes to VFR aircraft. FAA Order 7110.65 does not address that directly for areas where Class B, Class C, or TRSA services are not provided, but it does with regard to vectoring. 5−6−1. APPLICATION Vector aircraft: a. In...

I'm just asking questions to better understand the situation. I prefer clarification over assumptions.

'Zackly.

Wouldn't those VFR aircraft who chose not to engage with ATC be affected the same way? Do you advocate eliminating Class E airspace?

So the only limits to ATC authority over VFR aircraft in Class E airspace outside of Class B, Class C, or TRSA services are weather, terrain, or an emergency? Is that correct? Why then do these services exist? Are you basing your position solely on FAR 91.123(b) or do you have something else?

What's the penalty for declining ATC instructions if ATC engagement is not required for the airspace presently in?

I was introduced to the vector function at RTF in 1985. The instructor was from Albuquerque center. Never saw it at ZAU before or after. If I had tried that with 50 aircraft on frequency my next facility would have been a VFR tower.
