Narrative

THE FOLLOWING EVENTS TOOK PLACE WHILE I WAS ENRTE TO PHX FROM SOW. AN IFR FLT PLAN WAS FILED WITH PRC FSS AT ABOUT XA00Z. THE REQUESTED FLT PLAN WAS TO LEAVE SOW FOR PHX VIA DIRECT TO HOZER INTXN AND JOIN V190 TO PXR VOR AND THEN DIRECT TO PHX AT 12000 FT MSL. THE REQUESTED PROPOSED DEP TIME WAS XB00Z. I WAS GIVEN AN IFR CLRNC VIA A TELEPHONE LINE BY PRC FSS WITH A VOID TIME OF XC10Z ON THE GND AT SOW. THE ASSIGNED XPONDER CODE WAS DIALED AND SQUAWKED. I DEPARTED SOW AT XA30Z FOR HOZER INTXN ON V190. DURING CLBOUT TO 12000 FT MSL; I CONTACTED ZAB ON 132.9 WHILE CLBING THROUGH 8500 FT MSL. ZAB RESPONDED TO MY RADIO XMISSION AND TOLD ME THAT I WAS 15 MINS EARLY AND THERE WAS AN ACFT HOLDING AT HOZER INTXN ON V190. I ACKNOWLEDGED THAT I MIGHT HAVE MISUNDERSTOOD THE CLRNC AND THEN IMMEDIATELY ASKED THEM WHAT THEY PREFERRED ME TO DO. IT APPEARS THAT I MIGHT HAVE BEEN GIVEN A RELEASE TIME; HOWEVER; IT WAS NOT POINTED OUT TO ME DURING MY READBACK BY THE PFC FSS CTLR. ZAB CLRED ME TO JOIN V190 AND CLB TO 12000 FT MSL WITH A SW HDG. WX CONDITION THROUGH CLBOUT TO 12000 FT MSL WAS MVFR CONDITION WITH SNOW SHOWER. THERE WAS NO RPT TO ME BY ZAB OF ANY CLOSE CALL TO THE TFC HOLDING AT HOZER INTXN.
