Those of us who regularly provide ATSOCAS will have heard many different responses to the question in the title above from pilots who are not aware of the different services available in Class G airspace in the UK. The most common are:
- A radar service please.
- Ummm the best one.
- ummm, I don't understand the question.
Other than the above regular responses, what amusing answers have you heard?
I asked a French pilot recently what type of service he required and after a brief pause he confidently stated,
'Aiee weel bee sty-eeeng forrr waahn week'.
