RYR aren't the only offenders - I'm regularly asked by KLM F100s if high speed is OK as they come scudding in from AMS in Class G. Invariably I've got no traffic to affect and on some occasions it might even help me (or sometimes totally screw the sequence ), so don't have a problem with you doing it, but there's this thing called the ANO...

I'm certain most ATCOs would love more CAS, particularly on routes which are regularly flown by civil aircraft in Class G. It's safer for our licences as well as your lives. ADN-SAB,NEW,OTR and NWI is relatively busy (minimum of 50 flights per day off the top of my head), but we don't stand a chance as the North Sea is the military's playground and they won't give any of it away. That said I bet if we did establish an ADN-NEW they'd still be requests for direct OTR, NWI, PELOM outside CAS.

Unfortunately this is another grey-ish area where nobody really gets what they want. Which leads me nicely into braking action on slush and wet snow...
