How can you see France from the UK? You clearly haven't been to the Channel Islands from the Bembridge VFR - at 3000 feet to remain clear of the airway. Or to Deauville from Shoreham. Or to Cherbourg in the VFR recommended route through the danger area. Or been refused clearance through said route, so had to navigate around it. Or to Brest from Plymouth.
Thanks for your concern but I have done several xings. Dont forget Sleaford - L2K?
No-one has said that it is written anywhere other than local flying orders that a x-channel check is required.
Exactly! Not limited by licence, its a flying club remit which we are going round in circles saying!!!!
