Requesting the Status of a Danger Area
A small question that arose after my flight yesterday, which took us via Weymouth to Sandbanks, through D026. I've always just asked Bournemouth Radar, who I'm in contact with already and are always very obliging and usually seem to have that information close at hand. Yesterday however the controller didn't know, and suggested I call London Information (who, after a 'standby' came back fairly quickly). What I'm wondering is, is asking for this information on the RT the accepted and proper way of doing things? Or is there somewhere that I should have checked before departing, a phone number perhaps, and that asking on the RT is 'ok', but a bit cheeky? Thanks in advance.
