I had already fueled and readied the Warrior for departure, it was just a matter of pulling her out of the hangar. We departed Sodus VFR and contacted Rochester Approach for our instrument clearance. After leaving the theater, we stopped for a quick dinner and continued on to the Williamson Sodus Airport. Ground team!

But I accepted the clearance knowing that I could change it with a local Approach control like Syracuse. Once on with Syracuse, I decided to rectify the inefficient routing at the end of my instrument clearance and requested direct to Sodus from the Syracuse VOR. This was even better than I requested. I asked him teasingly.

Off Sodus, I briefly leveled at 2,500 feet to remain visual until I received my instrument clearance from Rochester Approach. Fortunately, the clearance was a simple one that morning because I was absurdly tongue tied while talking to Rochester. No wonder I got bounced around so much on final approach this morning , I thought.

We taxied to the whole other end of the airport to the FBO Hangar Q60 which served avgas. After some vectoring by Green Bay approach, we were cleared for the RNP runway 30 approach at Appleton. After a while, and a lot to our surprise, human activity in the form of roads, towns and cars became apparent under our wings.

When I contacted Rochester Approach, the controller came back with, "Are you looking for your clearance to College Park?" I answered in the affirmative, received my clearance, and was given a climb to 6,000 feet as the rain streaked over my windscreen. Shouldn't he have my full clearance? Welcome to College Park!"

So far, everything had gone smoothly for us and, before long, I had my instrument clearance to Beverly, an assigned departure runway (02 with an intersection departure at taxiway Alpha), and a taxi route. That Lancair doesn't have a clearance and should yield to you," indicated Beverly Ground. We have arrived!"

Hangar space is sometimes available for under $50/night – a nice option if storms are expected. Phoenix Approach Control gave us a few delay vectors before turning us onto final approach. It’s technically an IFR procedure, but can be used by any pilot to assure clearance from obstacles.
