Are UK pilots too eager to change frequency?
Last month I rented a plane to fly around the North of France.
I was quite surprised to hear loads of G-reg pilots saying:
"request frequency change to ... "
and the response was something like:
"Negative. You are still inside my area. I will hand you over." then maybe 5-10 minutes later: "G-AB contact <new facility> on <new frequency>."
What is going on here? Why does it seem like loads of G-reg pilots wanna move off and change frequency so soon?
