Things may be different at your particular airport, but I would lean towards that being a regional thing like Timbuff said. Unless someone can point me to something in the AIM or FAR's that says otherwise, I will continue to do it this way. |
Probably a good rule of thumb. What's the worst they can say? "Contact ground with that request"?
My problem is flying an aircraft that doesn't have a Victor radio into fields that have Clearance Delivery as a victor only frequency, but ONLY have 1 uniform frequency (as tower, for example). Then I have to call tower for clearance and they always ask me to come up on some victor frequency, when I'm unable. They usually understand, but I always feel like I'm putting them out... of course I suppose if it was a big problem they'd probably buy another uniform radio. They can't be THAT expensive.
