If you mean LFA's then the answer is no. All aircraft are UHF and utilise the see and be seen principle (Mark1 eyeball) and so should any operators in these areas. Stay above 1000ft where possible (higher is safer) because silhouetted against the sky makes you easier to spot, and use CANP where possible.
