Nice point Adam. Case in point is Oban. They run it like a mini international airport - without the commercial traffic - bar the Islander doing the Island run.
Have you PPR'd first question as you come near.
Well no, speak to me on arrival states controller. Why???
If I call pre take off, to check local weather - PPR no problem. If I am up flying and decide to go to Oban, and talking with Scottish, who tell Oban I am coming - what is the problem. Apparently there is a problem, although no one can quite tell me what it is.
I used to think it ''good manners'' to call, but I am not sure anyone really cares.
Care to elaborate anyone? The other recent addition to the flock is Fife, apparently because the parachute guys are now there. But if they are flying and dropping, and I call up, I will hold off until they are done. No??
Anyway, big probs apparently if you do not PPR - INCIDENTLY BOTH ARE HEAVY ON HI VIZ JACKETS - CO-INCIDENCE?
