I called them nice and early to allow time to climb over their Class D.
Quote:Isn't CAS in military terms "Close Air Support"?
If not I'm interested in thier meaning with "Stay clear of the CAS
I wrote CAS as my abbreviation (a long word considering its meaning
),they did actually say 'controlled airspace'
Quote:Unless you've been
cleared to cross controlled airspace, you'd be entering CAS without a clearance. Approval to 'transit' would, to me (and on searching through CAP 419, I find nothing to contradict me) merely mean approval to fly through the overhead -- remaining clear of controlled airspace.
As the airspace just above their Class D in not controlled,would a transit clearance be required anyway. ( would always talk to them of course)
Quote:Never assume: it makes an ASS out of U and ME...
I like that little ditty but I never assumed anything,just climbed over their Class D
Thanks everyone for your input,will try to make that call to Brize.
