Is there a new lot in Lossie Radar? Some very strange instructions recently while VFR again. The old "not below" clearance to VFR traffic has started again. And the old "they are under my control"
200'? In that case I'm impressed - I was under the impression the dead zone was a lot higher than that, given the radar head being 27(ish, off the top of my head!) miles away. If it's really that good then the sooner "we" get a feed and set up Inverness Radar the better, although I remain impressed by the service from Lossie Radar, even today when they're NOTAMed as being on leave they were still providing Inverness Approach within their normal schedule. And they've got time to a) be nice to GA b) identify us from heading changes!
