Any further questions are probably best directed towards SND. From his post, he appears to be more 'in the know' than us.
Not much! mostly my knowledge comes from some mates there who are in the process of the change.
Shy; from my reading of the AIC a CTR transit of the outer area would need/be helped by a pre-note, and any transit of Thames/City the same. What I can't find out at the moment is a whether a Brent-Battersea overhead, leave via the LFA would need one, or the reverse for those coming from the south.
My OM bans the use of personal electronic devices in flight at the moment. A sudden change of plan in flight could make for some interesting routes and fuel planning, and my customers tend to do things in their time, the timings on my plans tend to be dreams rather than actuality.
It's progress chaps............but not as we know it.
