Q

For CVFR, when will clearance usually be given and why?

A

Upon receipt of a position report filed by the pilot upon reaching the last 1,000ft below the base of Class B airspace or before entering laterally unless the point of departure is within Class B airspace. This is to ensure the radio is working and to remind the pilot that separation is not provided before entering Class B so they must maintain a watch for traffic.
