So who should pay for en route charges then?
No doubt Timothy and many other operators are very happy to take advantage of the LARS or London Mil whilst operating outside CAS, the vast majority of VFR flights to Europe from the UK route via a VOR or two, but for some strange reason they don't want to contribute a single penny to the system.
Funnily enough, almost no commercial airlines use LARS, but they pay far more than G/A do for each flight made in CAS.
Equally, en route G/A pilots are also quite happy to receive a radar service from units like mine, which are not LARS providers, and get a RIS or RAS for a significant portion of their flight, in return we get no payment at all.
I can't think of a single reason why G/A should be exempt for paying some form of en - route charge for flights which either enter any en route CAS or use LARS.
