We finally finished the painful planting season. The little woman and I throw some stuff in the cub and tell the kids we will be home Monday
out to VT to stay with some friends in Shelburne . We’re coming in from the east, drop-down under the outer ring of Burlington international We are well under the outer ring. I start to turn my downwind , voice comes on and says “aircraft at Shelburne how do you copy Burlington approach? Call this number after landing”
Me: Jeezus now what
i debated about even calling him, but I did because I thought I messed up
He said Right off that I did nothing wrong, didn’t Break any FAR. He just said they were landing a commuter aircraft to the north over the top of me when I was coming into land at Shelburne. They had to divert him around me because he said we couldn’t confirm your altitude. And then I said you told me I was well under the outer ring floor of The Charlie air space so you must of been reading my mode C to which you replied yes we could see your altitude just fine. We just couldn’t confirm it. Next time call us when you’re going into Shelburne from the east. I started to say I thought that was your job, but he was pretty pleasant so we left it there I hate making these phone calls, the same thing happened to me last year on the way to Florida at Atlantic City for the same reason. ATC you guys don’t get enough talking in?
