Class D to 2500' and then what........ You will need to sit on the ground and wait and wait for the enroute folk to get you sorted before you taxi
.
better to get airborne in CTA and get radar identified in your climb so that when you leave the D for C the enroute guy can see you, and identify you and away you go smooth as.
If 2500 was better, they woudl be doing it! Just coz the yanks do it is not a good reason for us to do it. They drive on the left side of the road.
Some of their system like VFR over LAX is quite workable, but not everything.
I wonder what Owen Stanley or Philthy has to say about this? And when it seems that the best source of good info (most qualified to comment) has been thread gagged we need to get some clarity from a suitably qualified source.
