Best GA IFR routing for EGLM-EGPK (Novice FAA IR needs help!)
Folks,
Trying to draw on your expertise as an FAA IR pilot struggling to come to terms with the UK system (and the missing class E airspace! ).
I'm trying to plan a flight from EGLM (White Waltham) to Prestwick and then on to Dublin in a PA23 (Aztec).
Could anyone suggest a routing that would be acceptable (or is likely to be given) if I want to make this flight IFR with an appropriate service (not FIS) if the weather restricts me to FL80 or maybe FL100 if I'm lucky.
I'm not trying to have a go at anyone - I've always found the service I receive to be excellent - I just get worried that I'll have a repeat of a recent experience (IFR from EBKT- EGLM and cleared all the way only to be dropped out to 2400' and given FIS about 10 before BIG while still in IMC - brown trousers situation!)
I just want to do what I can to avoid that happenning again.
Any and all help appreciated.
