Flying low again
1st Oct 2012, 19:30
Hello all,
I regularly fly around the West Country, Wales mainly but sometimes down into Cornwall and sometimes up north too.
Most of the time I tend to speak to London info for a basic service, saves changing frequencies too often and I find they give a very good service.
I added an IMC rating to my license about five months ago, and I do now fly IFR on occasions when the need arises. Usually if I am not too far from home I get a traffic service from Shawbury.
However I was wondering if London info are able to provide traffic or procedural services, I am of the understanding that they do have radar capability (relayed possibly) but have never asked the question when in the air.
Any comments greatly appreciated.
