Crossing the Irish Sea VFR - Airspace transits
Hello,
I'm looking into crossing the Irish Sea to fly into Newtownards (next to Belfast) from overhead Morecombe bay (past Barrow on the northwest coast) routing via the northen tip of the Isle of Man. I'm hoping to fly as high as possible for maximum gliding range which takes me through the W911D and W928D advisory routes. Is there anyone I ought to speak to, even though it's not controlled airspace, to let them know I'm flying through them?
Also, between the Isle of Man and Northern Ireland there's the P6 airway FL75+. Who can I call up to request a transit through it?
Finally, for a zone transit through the Strangford CTA, is that controlled by Belfast, ie 128.5 for a zone transit?
Many thanks
