I advised approach that I was just entering class D and they left me with the comment that I better be talking to tower.
Does this seem wrong to anyone? Can they do this and would I be responsible for violating class D since I had not had a chance to coordinate with Kenosha tower first?
By the way, nothing came of it...I'm just curious. |
yes the controller was wrong, when you are on VFR FF and the controller dose not tell you to stay clear of the class D then its the controllers job to call the tower for your overflight, if the controller dose not want to do this then they should terminate FF with enough time for you to call the class D controller,dumping a aircraft on the boundry on another controllers airspace like this is bull s@@t. this controller was being lazy and if something did come of it the controller would be at fault. but it dose not suprise me that it was MKE they have a lot of weak sisters working there.
