Coventry have no controlled airspace-just a proposal that is very unlikely to come to fruition, certainly in its present form
also micro lights/permit A/C are not banned from controlled airspace, well not class D anyway-while it may be difficult to gain access/transit of some at some time most is available-try asking! I have refused access no more than 2/3 times in the last 10 years-normally done because the radio is unreadable
Helicraig-thanks for the pat on the back-was fraught for a moment or two but believe it or not most controllers will do what they can for the 'little guy' !
