While BM had a fair point, it was aimed at the wrong person.
Easy is displaying good airmanship by using all the available information to plan the flight.
The reason why many pilots are resorting to using PPRUNE members (who may not have any aviation experience or who may provide incorrect or intentionally misleading info) for such guidance is that the training system is turning out pilots who do not have the necessary skills required to plan and execute a short crosscountry to a nearby airfield in controlled airspace.
Having taken their money and shoved these pilots out into the real world, they simply wash their hands.
If this wasn't the case then I am sure that this concientious pilot would in the first place have turned to a local flight instructor for guidance.
Should this pilot get it all wrong on the flight into Liverpool (unlikely but,) what credibility would be given to information obtained from an anomous internet based chat board?
Once again, I say that Easy has displayed good airmanship by doing his/her best to ensure a safe and efficient flight.
What a pity that many other pilots in the same situation simply blaze on in often arrogent ignorance.
