GA SMA PLT CONCERNED HE FAILED TO COMPLY WITH FEDERAL AVIATION REG IF HE FLEW HIS CLRNC ROUTE VIA V27 TO MYF.

Narrative

AFTER RECEIVING A CLRNC FOR AN IFR XCOUNTRY FROM SAN LUIS OBISPO TO MONTGOMERY FIELD SAN DIEGO; I REALIZED THAT THE CLRNC CONTAINED A PORTION OF THE FLT OVER THE WATER. THIS FLT OVER THE WATER WAS V27 FROM SAN MARCOS VOR TO CATALINA ISLAND VOR; THEN MISSION BAY VOR DIRECT MYF. THE PROBLEM IS THAT MY AIRPLANE WAS AN SMA SINGLE ENG LAND; AND ONLY AFTER TKOF I REALLY REALIZED THAT I WOULD NOT COMPLY WITH THE CLRNC BECAUSE I HAD NO FLOATING DEVICES ON BOARD. FLYING OVER THE L.A. TCA FOR MANY TIMES; I KNEW THAT IN REALITY THAT THE CLRNC THAT WAS GIVEN TO ME WOULD NOT BE THE ONE I HAD TO FLY TO SAN DIEGO. I WAS SURE THAT FROM POINT MUGU ON; L.A. APCH WAS GOING TO GIVE ME VECTOR OVER THE LAX JUST LIKE MANY OTHER TIMES I MADE THIS FLT. I WAS WRONG. I HAD TO FLY V27. THEN; WHEN I WAS BEING HANDLED BY POINT MUGU APCH; I REQUESTED VECTOR BY V99; THEN V25 TO SEAL BEACH VOR. HE WAS UNABLE TO WORK WITH L.A. APCH ON THIS CLRNC. SO; I STATED I HAD NO FLOATING DEVICES. THEN HE SAID HE WAS ABLE TO GIVE ME VECTOR FROM POINT MUGU TO VNY AND AROUND L.A. TCA. I STUDIED MY CHARTS AND I THOUGHT I WAS NOT GOING TO MAKE THIS ROUTE BECAUSE I WAS CONCERNED WITH FUEL REQUIRED. SO; I DECIDED TO GO ON V27. RIGHT BEFORE APCHING CATALINA ISLAND VOR; I AGAIN REQUESTED VECTORS CLOSER TO THE SHORE. BY THEN I WAS BEING HANDLED BY L.A. APCH AND THE CTLR WAS MUCH NICER THAN THE PREVIOUS ONE AND HE WAS ABLE TO WORK WITH COASTAL APCH; VECTOR CLOSER TO THE SHORE. THE FUNNY THING ABOUT THE FLT WAS THAT THE L.A. APCH SAID THAT; 'IN THE FUTURE WHEN YOU WANT VECTOR CLOSER TO THE SHORE; JUST MAKE A REQUEST.' WELL; MY REQUEST WAS MADE BUT NEVER ACCEPTED. SO WHAT I LEARNED FROM THIS FLT WAS THAT WHEN GND CTLRS ISSUE A CLRNC; BEFORE THE READBACK; YOU SHOULD LOOK AT YOUR MAPS AND SEE IF YOU ARE ABLE TO MAKE IT W/O BREAKING ANY REGS.
