London Heli-lanes - Tolerance
Hello,
I am a military instructor whom recently took some of my Squadron through the heli-lanes. It became apparent that there were gaps in the knowledge of some of the aircrew. I have put together a presentation with all the relevant rulings and info regarding flight into London CTZ.
I was questioned as to why they need to follow the routes slavishly and hold within the bounds on the Thames in a twin. I replied "because that is what is published!".
I was always lead to believe that there was a radar display of aircraft track, showing departure from the lane?
If so how accurate is it?...and under what situations will aircraft off track be requested to make good or leave the CTZ?
Regards
Ralph
