I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

I am pretty sure that was correct for a VFR transit. We used to request a procedural crossing. We used to request the airways crossing some 10 minutes in advance (30 miles in our case) and rarely we had to change level too. If we arrived early we had to orbit and if late reapply.
