Hi Lucasorg

First off obviously ring in for PPR on the published numbers and think about handling when you arrive, normally Saxonair. If you use them no need to go through terminal security etc.

Call 119.350 at least 10 minutes from edge of zone, or get a handover from Marham when inbound. If you can check the ATIS before you call 119.350 you should get it from 30/40 miles to run it will give you RW and Met and allow you to plan. On 119.350 tell ATCO normal message who you are where you are, etc tell him you are inbound to Norwich and request a visual join. The ATCO will give you a VFR clearance. As you are inbound no need to ask for a zone clearance etc that is implicit as you are inbound to the airfield. Read it back verbatim and comply with any conditions and route as directed. Expect to join direct into the circuit (not via overhead). Most of the traffic is commercial and mainly CAT helicopters operating to/from the southern North Sea IFR and domestic fixed wing CAT. It is busiest 0700-1000 and 1600-1830. Be aware of the VRP,'s although you will not normally be routed via them unless busy.

You will be transferred to 124.250. Director is only used if a second radar console is opened when busy. Enjoy your visit ATC are both friendly and helpful any questions ask to speak to an ATCO before you set off. The CTR/CTA are no big deal.
