I have a question for you ATC types...
If I'm cleared direct to KPWA what name should be spoken over the radio and why. Is there clear guidance and where could I find it? I have looked in the AIM and am unable to find guidance.
On the Jepp plate KPWA is listed as Oklahoma City, OK. with the airport name right below it as Wiley Post. On my flight plan (from flight plan.com) it lists KPWA as OKLAHOMA CITY with no mention of Wiley Post.
So, when I get cleared direct should I be cleared to Oklahoma City, Wiley Post, or is it an "either / or" type thing?
This question came from my company forum where the pilot who posted was cleared to "Wiley Post" but wasn't sure where that was as it wasn't listed as a point along his route on the flightplan.com flight plan in the cockpit. I guess you could argue they should have known the name of the airport they were going to, but I can see how this could be over looked in the high tempo operation we have.
Anyway, thanks for any input,
gp
