Those of us flogging a
FLIB can be a problem for ATC when metering faster aircraft into a terminal area.
Flying a
FLIB as I do, I'm used to being mushroomed like this.
In your September 2009 Editor's Log, "Add-On," you include phrases like "IFR
FLIB drivers" and "transiting within some undefined distance of terminals like CLT, STL, CVG, ORD...."
It was one of those humid, heavy summer nights when remnants of the day's thunderstorms were still about, forcing
FLIB and airliner alike to seek alternate routes and taxing controllers who just wanted a calm evening.
Over the Florida peninsula, for example, IFR
FLIB drivers can throw away the hemispheric altitude rules.
