The LLR is just one example of a number of airspace-enforced ratruns around the country. Two others are the Luton Stansted gap between BKY and BPK, and the OCKham BIGgin corridor between the London Zone and the Gatwick Zone.
Since traffic squeezed into these parcels of airspace are operating under VFR and in class G airspace, you have the advantage of:
- not requiring a clearance;
- not *needing* to talk to ATC if you don't want to or can't;
along with the disadvantage of :
- needing to see and avoid (which is what VFR types are supposed to do);
- needing to work in a high-traffic-density environment.
Most if not all changes would take the form of some sort of reclassification of the airspace, and we know how GA feels about that
A dedicated GA frequency in class G is pretty meaningless because it would be optional whether or not people participated and people's idea of an A to A co-ordination varies somewhat.
How about making it class D with a toll for those who wish to use it, to pay for the dedicated controller
