Q on scottish airspace control/ATC
Hi,
I dont know much about the formalities of airspace control & ATC workings in general so pls bare with me.
I've heard of scottish "FIS" but I dont really know what it means. Am i correct in thinking that they control the airspace over central scotland inbetween the airports, then pass off the pilots onto thier desired airport's ATC approach controller?
I live about 20 miles away from EDI and wondered if anyone could tell me the frequences that the FIS people use as I can pick up the EDI approach comms on my scanner & wondered if I could pick up these "FIS" comms.
if someone could clarify this for me and/or tell me if im talking complete balls, it would be most appreciated.
thanks
