R/T
I would like to start this thread as an extension to the thread This guy could be in YOUR airspace! .
Although any request of mine for RIS from Luton, Stanstead, Thames and Southend have never been refused I know that getting something more than FIS is unusual.
FIS is a non-radar service. All we are told is the QNH and that it is very busy in the South-East and to keep a very good look out. Thank you very much, I do it anyway.
As a result, while in the open FIR I have stopped making any R.T calls but do change frequencies to local aerodromes and keep listening. Most of them are A.G or F.I.S and can not help much other than telling about their local QNH and traffic.
I feel that talking to the world will not help.
What are your thoughts about it?
