Impressions of Solent ATC?
Hey guys,
I'd been thinking of starting a thread for a while, but seeing as this one already exists I may as well tag it on the end of here... sorry if that's hijacking!
I was just wondering what people's impressions of Solent Radar are from a flying perspective, both VFR round or through the CTA, and IFR in/out of Southampton and Bournemouth.
I know the unit had a reputation a while ago for sometimes being unhelpful, but I haven't seen anything to justify that 99% of the time, so i'd just like to see if you think that's something that has changed over time?
As a start i see that flyer recently named Solent as 'ATC Heroes' in their QSY section for providing an especially helpful service during bad weather. Anybody care to add anything of their own?
Thanks!
