So I'm heading up through this airspace next week - and
yes I know that NOTAM doesn't go out that far,
yet - but my question is for VFR-in-E as more than likely there'll be
some kind of airspace closure I'll have to deal with at some stage. The NOTAM seems quite clear, if you want to cruise in E, you need permission from BN CTR by phone beforehand. So the question:
Has anyone called for this authorisation, and/or been denied such clearance and told "Thou shall not enter!"? And what did "they" say when you spoke to them?
