Luton and Stansted CTR transits
Hi everyone!
I am starting a new thread as adding posts to those 4 and 5 years old on the same subject doesn't seem to yield responses. I am a PPL based near the Stansted zone and I'm after some suggestions (ideally from relevant ATC unit if you guys are reading this?) as to the VFR routes through the Stansted and Luton CTRs which are easiest to handle for the controllers and maximise the chance of me getting the clearance. My initial guess would be to cross at a right angle to the extended rwy centreline, any other suggestions for me to take into account? Goes without saying that I have tried to do my homework, will call as early before the zone boundary as possible, have a plan B, think before I transmit etc. etc. Before anyone asks, I am not trying to save 5 minutes of flying time (which I may not) but am after the extraordinary views and a sense of achievement after the successful transit.
Any times of the day/week better than others? Due to fewer arrivals/departures from EGGW/EGSS?
Any suggestions gratefully received!
Thanks,
