How does one find out where radar coverage and therefore flight following is available?
Yeah if you are under a SIS we will instruct you to call the next unit to request/expect airways clearance, or tell you it won't be available, squawk 1200 etc. Have a root around on Airservices website for surveillance coverage maps, bearing in mind it can differ day to day. It's always free to ask, you can squawk ident and if we don't see you we can advise better on local coverage and at what level or position you might get on.
