My first trip up to the Western Highlands and routing from Cumbernauld direct to Invergarry I was suprised to hear from FBW when I signed on and gave my route that he expected to lose contact with me just after Fort William. However, with that warning I did check in with him just before and then sign-off. No suprises - I do like that in a flight!
Up until that point, good reception even though I was never more than 1,000 ft above the tops on route, and never above 4,000. (Helicopters - or this pilot - seem to be alergic to being too high. It must be the vast amount of time we spend down in the weeds - I am vey comfortable at 500 ft AGL!).
Professional, helpful, worth every penny. Thank you for the service, and for the help.
