Assuming that you'll be working Leeming on the way North from Gamston, they'll pass your details to us, so we'll know you're coming. Just make sure that they transfer you to us before the boundary of the Class D airspace - they sometimes get busy and forget - remember that they are also working UHF frequencies .

If it seems that they are not transferring you in time, don't be afraid to tell them that you're leaving their frequency to call us, hopefully in the vicinity of Northallerton (the AIP stipulates a minimum of 10 mins notice, but we frequently manage with less).

You can normally expect a join directly onto the appropriate base leg, but we do sometimes get busy spells so you may be asked to orbit at some point.

We would not instruct you to route via any of the VRP's (R being for reference- not reporting), to avoid the "honey-pot" syndrome

Finally, relax, enjoy your flight, if you need help, let us know, we can identify you easily if you have a transponder, and help you find your way, or just give you a QDM if required.
