Touchdown! Greaser!
I think he is saying he received his IFR clearance by phone before launching - not that he received an approach clearance by phone during the emergency. That'd be a poor use of your time and limited battery power, imo."I called and received clearance from ATC via national Clc Delivery."
That was by cell phone? I want to know how to make the contact and then receive clearance while on the fly in an emergency situation.
