Are you talking about flying through a restricted area as a normal GA pilot? In that case you just need to check with the controlling agency if it's cold or not, and if it's cold you can just truck on through?
In regards to Noy's letter, I agree with the verbage used there, that you are not operating under any kind of ATC clearance if you're just receiving headings and altitudes.
You need to hear the word "cleared" in there somewhere, or it's not an ATC clearance as far as I'm concerned.
Btw Noy, I just keep slinging out statements, and you provide the chief councel letters, I like this arrangement
