chevvron Wish you guys wouldn't use ANY of these agencies; they all continually file incorrect departure routes from my airport. Just because we're in class G airspace does NOT mean you can file any random route which gets you to your destination; standard departure routes (SDRs) are published in the UK AIP and must be programmed in your FMS otherwise it's YOU who has to hurriedly re-programme just after departure when you could do without the extra workload.
But this is England, If England coud do simple flying it would be well known. UK is a disaster for aviation, with a lot of NON phraseology, and a lot of Umbrellas like ' radar coverage limited to Advisory due to equipement limitations' , and a thousand others.... Radar to radar hand-over, cloud break VFR, 'cleared to enter controlled airspace'', ' Leaving controlled airspace, radar service terminated' a lot of talks, for no safety. THEN, ATC gets mad when you fly a VNAV departure and when they read your ASEL, they see the last level of the SID! Guess what ? It is a potential Level Bust !!!!
SO do not use any of the provider for your local departure, I will be interested to see how the city-pairs RAD is linked from your ADEP...Fly safe and breathe..
