If you are in the airspace in the continental US, on an IFR flight plan, at 10,000 feet, then you are in controlled airspace.

No, that would be the Eastern United States, where a man getting up to shave in the morning qualifies as the tallest obstacle in a thousand mile radius.

Again, you are wrong. First, you tell us that navaid service volumes apply to uncontrolled airspace, when they do not...particularly in light of the book you quoted (The Air Traffic Controller's Handbook) applies to controlled airspace.

Next, you make the assumption that all airspace above 10,000' is controlled airspace, when in fact, it is not.

One more strike, and you're out of here.

That will be a dozen hail mary's and you'll be needing to butcher a small animal and toss it on the barbeque as pennance.

Doesn't do a whole lot for the animal, mind you...but who said life is fair?

The original poster only asked what time it is. We don't have to explain how to build a watch.
Now, tell me a single route within the USA that you can takeoff from an airport under IFR, fly to another one and make an instrument approach without ever entering controlled airspace.

until you get a serious answer on here, just ask for a vector direct to the VOR, and u'll usually hear "fly heading XXX, direct XYZ VOR when able". that's legal...

I hear that a lot when riding up front in Delta's 737-200 when going to/from work. They are /A so sounds about right

Cape Lisburne, Alaska to Red Dog Mine, Alaska

Red Dog has Part 121, B737 passenger service
