If you want this service, just say "request radar vectors direct LAX". You can get this service VFR or IFR, so don't be afraid to ask for > For archives and unsub http://mail.lancaironline.net/lists/lml/ The way this has worked for me in a C182/A (no TSO'd GPS) when initiated by ATC because they want me out of the way is: ATC: Can you go XYZ direct. (XYZ is a hundred miles away) C182: unable - I am /A but I do have a hand held GPS ATC: What heading does your GPS show to XYZ C182: zero niner three ATC: C182 cleared radar vectors heading zero niner three until direct XYZ. I will now have to try requesting radar vectors from my side. I never thought of it enroute. Thanks Dave
