|  Approach Clearance Class B airport - very busy. You've been descended to 2500 feet and cleared to join the localizer (but not cleared for the approach). Approach forgets about you (probably) and the frequency is so busy you can't get a word in. You've reached the FAF. What do you do? The crux of the question is do you need an approach clearance to leave 2500 feet (I believe you do) and can the tower controller give you such a clearance? Thanks |

| Re: Approach Clearance You need a clearance to leave 2500' - There's an ATC forum on JC where you'll get a response from an actual controller.

| Re: Approach Clearance Two questions: First, is it IFR or VFR? Second, is this an "interview" question or a "real life" question?
