BEagle is describing the correct procedure to use when
inbound to or
outbound from and aerodrome within an ATZ in class G airspace. (R/T failure procedures in part).
However, this topic is about making an enroute transit of an ATZ and I can't think of a case where it would be safe and legal to continue a flight in VMC but impossible to route outside an ATZ in class G airspace.
The AIP/NOTAM contain the activation times for all ATZ's and all of the Mil ones that I am familiar with are H24.
Heard the following on Boscombe some time ago -
[I] Boscombe radar, Yak formation request MATZ penetration and FIS
(silence) folowed by the same again twice followed by
Boscombe radar nothing heard YAK formation is a .......routing via your overhead at 2000ft QNH 1005 will call overhead
(5 minutes later) Boscombe radar YAK formation overhead the field at 2000ft QNH checging to Compton Abas on .....[I]
Boscombe ATZ is H24.
The above pilot just recorded the evidence that the CAA requires to convict on the ATC tapes........lucky that the Mil guys who were operating on the local frequency didn't have a problem with the unauthorised transit!!!!
