Fast jets and Advisory Routes in Scotland

Any jet jocks or talking ballast out of Lossiemouth/Leuchars care to illuminate me on their attitudes to the ADRs in Scottish FIR?

Particularly A1D, W3D and W6D southeast of Stornoway. Do you attempt to avoid them, are you aware of them, or do you just blast through them and hell mend the passenger planes ?

Good airmanship might suggest that crossing in level flight (ie. not pulling up into a rocket climb through the route) or at least seeking a radar service from ScotMil would be the sensible option.


Do you have TCAS fitted on Tornadoes, Jags and Nimrods ? (Does TCAS work better than Blue Circle radar )

I eagerly await illumination.
