Thank you for all pilots that fly in and out of ZTL.

Please remember to comply with ATC initiations. If unable advise the controller. Also because ZTL can get VERY busy when only one person is working all of it, please keep talking on frequency to a minimum. This would be great and help instructions to be disseminated more efficiently. If you are unable to obtain an ATC clearance for an IFR flight (out of an uncontrolled field), you may choose to depart VFR and call for IFR once airborne. Do however keep in mind this does NOT mean you can enter class A airspace, this has happened to many times.

Again, thanks, and hope to see yall’ around,
