So I was in Bethel, AK (PABE) the other day and it was about 20 prior to push. Bethel is Class D at the time.
I told the Captain: Hey, Ima get the clearance back to ANC.
He says: Hold on, it's still twenty minutes to push - we'll tie up the airspace until we get out.
Me: But it's a towered field - we won't tie up the airspace.
Him: Yes it will, because they don't have radar. (I'm guessing he meant TRSA or something. ANC Center has you on radar shortly after takeoff.)
So, after a few rounds of I've been doing it this way for long time, Oh, gee, me too ensues. And we leave it at: If that's what you want, Captain, that's what we'll do.
So, who was right? Where can that info be found? It seems like instrument pilot 101, but I can't find it.
Thanks for the responses.
