All, I would like to provide a few more facts about this event.. .The flight that is the subject of this discussion was indeed a Kingair operating on a foreign private registration, the flight was also subject to limited co-ordination, the Sector Chief had called and asked if we were prepared to work this aircraft inbound to a unit within the LARS area, this was agreed, an estimate, squawk and level was passed. The aircraft was observed approximately 50nm away at FL160, the flight was then seen to squawk 7000 and subsequently called with about 5nm to run to the edge of a danger area,the assistant was asked to ascertain the staus of the danger areas while the aircraft was put on a unit squawk and re-identified, unable to find out the status before the aircraft would have entered the danger area, the aircraft was given a heading to keep it clear of the danger area which then required us to to contact a different sector to request an airways crossing clearance in the descent out of FL160.. .Far from being irate, I called the Chief about 10 minutes later to suggest that I was not very happy about the presentation of the flight,this is not the normal practice.. .What would you have done as a LARS controller? . .How could I possibly have known what the sector controller had or indeed had not warned this pilot about?(unless of course he telephoned to tell me) . .Why as an area controller would you take such an aircraft off the airways squawk when co-ordination had been effected?. .Please feel free to re-evaluate your opinions with the other side of the story.
mildly amused to be called a bimbo, as far as I am aware a first in my career.
