any regular lightie charter drivers that work through this airspace have any pointers on how to best get a clearance through this airspace when you need to go?
Yeah! Request your clearance well before you need it!
If you have don't have a plan in the system - expect it to take a bit longer to get your clearance cause someones gonna have to put your details in the system.
OK, so I have no experience with Willy'stown, but I got lots of experience over the last 40 years with Townsville, Amberley Oakey, Tindal and Darwin. In my experience, the ATC personnel, both military and civil are very helpful, courteous and on-the-ball 99% of the time, and as for the other 1% (?), well we all have our bad days don't we!
