And was that the pilot wanted FS to give him a lower LSALT on the flight path so HE could get out of ice? STANDBY - I'LL JUST SHIFT A FEW HILLS!!!!! (SOMEWHERE BTW YPMQ & RIC?)
With that CP in control, what a f------- drongo.
FS does have LSALT (radar lsalt) in areas and they used to be able to give them out quite legally to aircraft both cta and octa. however a directive came out from casa some years ago to atc instructing them not to give radar lsalt out anymore. as to why, go figure???? granted you shouldnt just end up in this situation where u need to use all available resources and in ermerg situations atc will give them out.
For the pilots there doing the right thing, yes i am sorry but there are better organisations to fly for.
such as??
casa has become very much a reacting authority...reacting in a way to cover their own arse for litigation. sad days in GA.
