You're a TEACHER for cryin' out loud...don't you know how to enter/transit Class C airspace by now? Or at least you know where to look for the answer in the appropriate reference...don't you!?

How many times do you transit Class C VFR without going to the primary airport. Unless you train underneath a Charlie the answer is never to rarely. I figure the guy knows how to get into the airspace but he wants to make a good impression on the girl and wants it to be a seamless transition. Cut him a break.

Of course I know how to enter Class C! It's nice to gather a little info about sightseeing when you have never really taken an airplane up to just look around a populated area before. I've been in Columbus' Class C many, many times and I have flown to all of the nearby satellite airports. I'm familiar with it.

Columbus does get busy at times. I just thought it would be nice to give the controllers a heads up so everything goes as planned and I don't get turned away.

Sorry.

It says right there on the sectional 'contact xxx appch on xxx.xx within 20nm'.

You call up approach and tell them:
who you are
where you are
what you want
