Yes. But you have mis-understood my point.
No, I really haven't.
Really what Farnborough is doing should have been called London Approach and let VFR traffic go in and out of controlled airspace easily but of course they were not smart enough to figure that one out.
No, 'they' are smart enough, but the intention behind Farnborough LARS was to mitigate against infringements into CAS, by providing ATSOCAS around the major CTRs around London. A service that is provided free of charge to those who use it, as it's funded by NATS (i.e. commercial route charges) and Farnborough Airport. A more seamless service could be given, but who would pay for it?
The role of LARS is poorly understood.
Very true.
