Yeah, IFR too.

Those are great suggestions. Much of the presentation is based on knowing what you can get from ATC and no being afraid to ask it. There are many services that ATC can provide you with, but asking for them has to something that is not intimidating.

I flew with an FAA guy today and he made a great point. He said that those how call up with a macho attitude while charging off into IFR conditions will most likely get minimal help from ATC. But those how are perhaps going in knowing it will be a challenge or admitting they are a low hour instrument pilot will be most likely well looked after by ATC.
