Thanks PPRuNe Radar,
I appreciate that a special flight number doesn’t grant any particular status but as we could potentially be requesting to operate in a Class A airway over our DZ for a couple of minutes on every lift. I thought that this may be an appropriate way to give the controllers pre-warning of whom the aircraft is and what the PIC is likely to request?
As the parachute centre plans to operate the turbine aircraft every VMC day over a one month period would you consider it appropriate to request / seek a “letter of agreement” with the controlling authority? Is there such thing as a temporary letter of agreement?
I’ll also pass on your suggestion that they talk to the BPA for any advice to the DZ operator.
Appreciate your help.
Regards,
Matt
