Instead we hand-write a flight progress strip for your flight and issue you a squawk from our MSAW-enabled local code bank. But the clearance is just as restrictive as a NAS-level IFR clearance; any deviation from that clearance requires ATC approval, or a quadrant clearance, just like a "normal" IFR clearance. And @Pugz, not sure what you mean about "cracking down." We can also effect a manual handoff on local-code aircraft... | |
