30W,
You make a very valid point about trundling off down T16.
I have often wondered if SCQ was out what the legalities were but could never find anything about it in our manuals.
It would seem to be a situation that the authorities need to legislate for.
I feel fairly confident that in my Co, if SCQ was out, that they would happily reroute me if I asked.
How is FNC these days, haven't been there for years, often fly down to TFS and listen to the FNC weather to see how exciting it might be!
