ATC giving Invalid VFR Pattern entry

Featured Replies

Hi,

VFR test flight from KPBG to KBTV. My call sign is Cessna 2SP.  When near KBTV:

BURLINGTON Tower Cessna Two Sierra Papa and;
Cessna Two Sierra Papa This is Tower go ahead.
Make or repeat your request. Cessna Two Sierra Papa
 Tower Cessna Two Sierra Papa Is At Two Thousand Inbound for VFR Pattern entry Runway Three Three;
Cessna Two Sierra Papa  good afternoon .  Squawk Four Three Six Five  Enter pattern on a Left downwind for Runway Three Three. call downwind   Climb and Maintain Flight Level Three Three Zero Altimeter Three Zero Two Four
~Squawk Four Three Six Five Enter pattern on a Left downwind for Runway Three Three  Climb and Maintain Flight Level Three Three Zero Cessna Two Sierra Papa

As you can see the ATC gives me a non VFR squawk code and ask me to climb to FL330.

Also, another test I did was to request "Cessna 2SPinbound at 2000 for landing on the active" and the ATC gave me a runway that does not exist at KTBV. I made sure I was on the proper frequency.

I am am new at pilot2ATC so I am probably doing something wrong. I don't know how to attach a file so I am cut and pasting the log here.

thanks for your help

cheers

Louis
