FlyStimulator:
I'm sure by now that the Farnborough controllers look forward to Aussie Andy's little jaunts through their zone
Do you know something that the CAA don't??!!!? Please don't give 'em illusions of grandure!!
Seriously though - most of us ATCO's build in "Dump" points, such as report crossing the M25/Thames Estuary etc.
If you are really unsure where the point is (
after looking at the map!!) just ask. The dump points ensure that I:
(a) Know roughly where you are if not identified
(b) Mean I can QSY you making my job easier!!!
Seriously, Solent gave you that point as they send traffic to LARS at Farnborough as it is the "boundary" of the areas of operations for both units. Controllers tend to use obvious geographical points.
