Guys making a straight in, have caused a lot of accidents. Also, you being solo, you may not be able to scan as much for other traffic.
When you are rated and can file, ATC can often (depending on their radar coverage)give you a good picture before terminating radar services. If there are other aircraft (especially weekend warriors) around, i would want to enter the pattern in the recommended manner.
Good call on breaking off. |
I missed that on the first post about you coming in straight in. I saw ILS, but read faster than I was typing.
In regards to: "I annouce "Burlington Traffic, Archer 2571M is established on the ILS RW06"."....
Many VFR fliers will not know what that means. A better diea would be to annouce "Burlington Traffic, Archer 2571M is xxx miles SW of the field inbound for landing RW06".
Direction from field may be more important to hear instead of "on the ILS".
