East Midlands Listenting Watch

Hi there,

I am planning to do a bit of sight seeing south of Sheffield over the weekend. I was doing a bit of research into my RT Strategy and I was planning on trying the listening to Manchester while squawking 7366 while near the Manchester CTA. (Flying over Bakewell).

I was then wondering about dealing with East Midlands. I am going to do some general handling east of Ashbourne and I think I will be OK operating below their CTA (I need to confirm that on a new chart, I was looking at an old one at the time). I was going to give them a call for a FIS, but I have had a look on a website they have set up and I get the distinct impression they would rather not be bothered and don't offer LARS. I just wondered if anybody had any thoughts/experience. I am going off to for an IMC lesson on Sunday to do some approaches at East Midlands, so I will get to chat to them then!

Looking forward to sunny weekend yipee!
