lol I love the landing instruction joke.. this is really just funny in a way.
I am just looking at:
http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/Aviatio...917_LOCKED.pdf
which seems rather new. What is the purpose of this supplement? There are many repeats in the two books.
Have you guys heard: "G-ZE is a PA38 Tomahawk from Sleap to
Manchester overhead Whitchurch 2500ft,
QNH 1007,
request VFR clearance to the
airfield with Information Alpha."
anywhere before?
I have been to Gloster as well but I wasnt too sure what I said at the time.
So when you enroute to Gloster and coming from a different airfield and plan to land at gloster.
You could be very far away and just want a service from them. However when you pass your message do you just ask for the service knowing your ultimate goal is still to land at the airfield?
Or do you Introduce yourself to the ATSU and with callsign+ "request join" on the very first initial call to a new airfield? When asked to pass your message you request a standart overhead join or direct join if possible.
Do you then just report that you have the airport insight and automatically fly to the overhead?
