crazy ATC vectors to/from an airport
Posted: Sun Nov 15, 2020 10:11 pm
I am using 124thATC with a Cessna 172. Every time I depart an airport, ATC sends me on a huge arc - starting in the opposite direction from the destination airport and directly over the departure airport. Near the destination airport, again ATC has me fly over the airport, sends me on a huge (like 25 nm radius) arc, then lines me up on the active runway. Before I can change the COM1 frequency to the tower, ATC sends me in the opposite direction from the approach runway and has me contact center again.
Anybody else seeing this? Also, 'flight levels' are required in the flight plan and ATC always instructs altitude changes in flight levels. Low-altitude aircraft never use flight levels.
Any ideas? Thanks.
