My question is as follows, do military controllers and civilian ATC work seamlessly and do hand offs and exchange traffic info? Should I have treated the Leuchars MATZ transition much the same way I do a basic vfr “flight following” type service from Scottish Information on routes that do not involve MATZ transitions assuming basically that my service continues even after i have left the MATZ? Would the Leuchars controller have advised Dundee that I was skirting their airspace and this would explain why Dundee felt that there was no need to talk to them and requested me to “stay with Leuchars? even though I was out of the MATZ
No, is the answer. I have been dumped out of a MATZ service, straight into CTA, down South mind you, and I started a thread on PPRUNE on the subject.
Leuchers also tried that with a colleague of mine, recently, and I told him to QSY immediately to Dundee, as he was on course, still speaking with Leuchers, to go overhead Dundee.
And they had that demented harpie
She would not have been best pleased.
