It means that the aircraft will, along it's journey, soon be entering airspace in which air traffic control is provided. The note means that an aircraft flying from one airport to another, all in class F, won't normally be offered a traffic advisory service. An aircraft taking off from an airport in F, and climbing into class C will be offered the service in the F part of the flight as well as the C part of the flight.
This is what happens when I take off from or arrive into Inverness in the UK (in an RPT A320).
Interesting. I hadn't considered that aspect. Dictionary definition: lasting for only a limited period of time; not permanent.
Do I understand that Inverness is a Class D Tower/CTR, with Class F airspace above it and then Class C, is this correct?
