Trevor. You asked on the MDX thread why the pilot did not request an airways clearance earlier?
It's pretty obvious that after being told he could not flight plan over Willy he believed it was not possible to fly that way.
Many pilots today see the published route limitation , then plan to the west of Willy and don't understand that a direct clearance can often be obtained
Of course. There will always be a delay because the poor ATC at Willy has no details on the flight and has to key them in.
But don't worry. I will get this limitation removed. - but will take a little while when you consider the mental attitude of the Military posters on this site and their anger that someone could be doubting the system!
