As an operational AFISO in Scotland 119.875 I welcome all customers with open arms. the way I look at it is the more aircraft out there that choose to use the service, the better service I therefore can give ( traffic info etc) Another reason for using the service is flight safety, most of my customers operate at lowish levels, with single engine and over at times hostile terrain, when that engine coughs, splutters and starts to wind down, this is not the time to be looking for a frequecy to call for help on!! at least if you are already on the frequency and using the service a quick "Pan Pan" or "Mayday" is all it will take to get the cavalery into gear!! Another thing are TDA's (temporary danger area's), these are promulgated at short notice to protect search and rescue operations, despite checking your NOTAM's prior to departure a TDA may become active after that time and therefore the AFISO will be in a position to update you!. For those of you that already use the Scottish service I hope you agree that a friendly service is always provided,for those of you that have not bothered come onto 119.875 one day and give it a go.....and oh by the way...my pet hate is those that only select and listen, why???if you go to the bother to select the frequency please come and say hello!!!....good luck and safe flying to you all.
