Out of interest, a question for both current ATCO's and HD.
I recently flew this section of airspace in a R44 (EGBE - EGKA), with GPS; but had put way points in which kept me well clear (4nm W of Bagshot mast @2,000ft).
I was receiving a FIS from Farnborough (as part of the new LARS service) squawking as directed, and confirmed identified. If I had started to transgress towards / slightly into the zone as described above what would have been the most likely outcome?
I presume, that if Farnborough had noticed before infringement they would have advised me to change heading. Had I have infringed I presume LHR ATC would have seen the squawk and asked Farnborough to get me out of the way?
Now, a colleague suggested I could have planned a route through the zone via BUR and Ascot under a SVFR clearance. Having only flown in the zone once before - what would the likelihood of that clearance being given have been? Are the ATCOs at Heathrow Special kind to singles wishing to do that??
