Equally, twin-engined light aircraft can also fly SVFR over London and anywhere else in the zone as long as they do not conflict with Heathrow, Northolt and London City traffic. >>
Yes that is fine . . done it loads . . . both flying and as SVFR Dir 3 . . . BUT
On a cold wet windy night . . . you know, can't see a lot through the Tower windows, well actually you can, except every light has a million reflections.
There on the DFTI is the Heli crosser running in over Northolt towards Hayes and Sipson to Hold . . as usual.
WHAT . . . the C*** is he doing . . . B***** great orbit . . that ain't right is it boss ?
And of course it was not . . . still don't know how We / WU fell for that one.
Req SVFR transit H9 . . . the heli was in fact a Cessna 421 ??!! (doing half rate turns if my memory serves me correctly straight towards 10L landers and WU corridor .)
Not a lot of room to play with . . but HDG and Level to Director, who as usual, sorted it.
Just another evening on 118.7 Air Arrivals.
Keep it up people
