Circuits inside R112 without transponder??
Brings up a random question I had about CX within R112....
Would you be able to conduct CX as a non-transponding a/c if in circuit with your transponding "formation buddy"?
The above is premised on fact that while transponding a/c are effectively grounded within R112 for the duration, a clause has been included to state that flights into/out of the zone are possible if "in formation" with a transponding a/c, with all stated as such on the FPL.
Would require to be one of the notified CV airfields etc etc.
Not sure I'd want to try the above scenario without some seriously rock-solid official assurances, but wondering if anyone had posed the question??
Is it only in/out, effectively ferry, flights that this clause is trying to cover? Or is there some potential dispensation for CX, i.e. what constitutes "in formation" as far as CX is concerned....?
