An ATZ would require ATC or FIS and/or licensed a/d with 2-way comms and Rule 45 compliance by all. I can't see any of that that being compatible with un-fettered gliding at a site notified up to 3 point 7. The calling won't make much difference to confliction with a wire. The likelihood of reliable effective two way with the launch point iCom is marginal. Far best to keep well out of the way of the overhead and the upwind.....which a King Air working Farnborough recently didn't, judging by an Airprox report. I cannot see what advantage an ATZ at Lasham would be to Farnborough ATS other than to 'legalise' closer vectoring for 06.....
