very interesting to see all these responses showing than there are many different opinions. If everyone offsets of course that may increase collision risk !
It will be interesting seeing how the LARS service helps us around the London area, too many times Farnborough have declined to give me a RIS service because they are too busy, which leads me to another point of this thread :
Under what conditions do you request an RIS service from an ATC unit offering this facility ? Always or just in poor vis ? My instructor used to say this should only be used in poor vis / IMC, others feel it should be requested whenever it is available.
Are NATS, who hope the London LARS will reduce airspace infringements really going to be able to offer it to all pilots who request it ?
