Essentially as little as possible. There have been various threads on this subject here and on the Flyer Forum, might be worth having a search before covering it all again on this one.
AlanM, you said "Don't call us unless you want to enter CAS". Okay but when I left Tollerton heading south I stayed under the CTA, but listened to East Midlands. The ATC spoke to an aircraft about 'unkown traffic' from the information I knew he was refering to me. At this point I did wonder if I should have spoken to East Midlands, I would then not have been unknown,
and my intentions would have been clear. All parties would know where I was going at that I was aware of the CTA and would not be infringing.
In the London area it is impracticable to call all the traffic under CAS to the IFR traffic just above inside so we tend not to call any of it unless circumstances demand it.
