REFLECTOR: ATC Question

[Lawrence J. Epstein, MD]

Willie, that was before FAA assigned "VELO" to the Velocity fleet. You are
are always encouraged to use the most specific identifier (HXB is a generic
high perf experimental).

 

btw; are you still @ HPN?

I flew Mike Watson's Velo (N104MW) for many years out of KHPN a class Delta
airport underlying New York's 
Class Bravo.  My initial call to ATC  was always "Experimental N104MW.....",
if New York was going to grant me 
a Class Bravo clearance or give me flight following, they would always ask
for "type" experimental and I would 
reply with HXB.  I believe they need the type to enter into their strip they
would be opening for me. 

If it's good enough for NY ATC I figure that's they way ATC does business. 

Just my two cents.
