Will Approach Radar be limited to 40 miles? I have seen some proposed provisional procedures that specify 60 miles, but SRG had no knowledge of an exemption when I spoke to them this morning to seek clarification in the event that my own licence might be affected by co-ordination interaction with an illegal practice.
A 60 mile limit would set a precedent for current well-established and well-equipped approach units that are currently limited to 40 miles. There may also be problems with R/T channel DOC, as was/is the case with Exeter.
I'm trying to be helpful by the way! Some Military practice and procedures may be inappropriate in a civil environment.
