Lyneham are one of the stations that always tell me to stay outside CAS and hand me on as soon as possible. Not the most friendly of operators
Essex Radar seem to be having constant rows with Ryanair pilots - the last time the jet apeared to be ignoring ATC instructions - so by the time they get back to me I've long gone
But on a slightly different issue, I spoke to a couple of CAA types who were lecturing me on always using a radar service or LARS. They seemed to have no idea that LARS is not always available (Yeovilton has been notamed as closed).
Are there any CAA employees out there that understand how gliders, microlights and Permit aircraft operate in Class G??
