I understand the "how" of Farnborough, that it is in uncontrolled airspace, joining clearances, types of service. I'd like to understand the "how" and the "why" of it. How can uncontrolled airspace exist with a licensed radar unit? Why has this come about and continues, considering it is 5 miles from Class A airspace? I flew out of MLD, on Galaxys for 18 years and understanding Class G was an annual check ride question after a couple of near hits there when USAF US-based pilots didn't understand what they agreed to on taking RIS.
Any info to explain this situation to US civil pilots who hav had no experience with UK ATC?
