Default Re: Flight following cancelled while entering Class D

a clrn in not needed to enter class D or class C airspace only radio contact and a radar controller dose not have to tell a pilot on VFR FF that thay can fly through class D its the CONTROLLERS JOB UNDER THE RULES TO COORDINATE THE OVER FLIGHT WITH THE TOWER, IF THE CONTROLLER DOSENT WANT TO MAKE THIS CALL THEN THEY NEED TO TELL THE PILOT TO REMAIN CLEAR OFF THAT AIRSPACE.if the radar controller drops the ball its the controllers falt not the pilot, your using apples and oranges with you vfr vector and clouds clrn, its 2 diffrent events.heres the wording from the 7110.65.


2-1-16. SURFACE AREAS
a. Coordinate with the appropriate nonapproach control tower on an individual aircraft basis before issuing a clearance which would require flight within a surface area for which the tower has responsibility unless otherwise specified in a letter of agreement.
REFERENCE-
FAAO 7210.3, Letters of Agreement, Para 4-3-1.
14 CFR Section 91.127, Operating on or in the Vicinity of an Airport in Class E Airspace.
P/CG Term- Surface Area.

b. Coordinate with the appropriate control tower for transit authorization when you are providing radar traffic advisory service to an aircraft that will enter another facility's airspace.
NOTE-
The pilot is not expected to obtain his/her own authorization through each area when in contact with a radar facility.

c. Transfer communications to the appropriate facility, if required, prior to operation within a surface area for which the tower has responsibility.
REFERENCE-
FAAO 7110.65, Radio Communications Transfer, Para 2-1-17.
FAAO 7110.65, Surface Area Restrictions, Para 3-1-11.
FAAO 7110.65, Application, Para 7-6-1.
14 CFR Section 91.129, Operations in Class D Airspace.
