Different Services and where to get them
Hello,
As a very recent PPL, who trained in a rather quiet part of the UK, I never really got chance to ask about the other services (other than basic) that an ATC unit can give, and what the differences are. Also, as far as I was aware, these services are available outside of controlled airspace, but when I was doing my XC, flying into a couple of larger, and therefore controlled, airports, I was still asking for a basic service.
I know this sounds a bit silly, but it's one of those questions I never got round to asking, and just know that if I don't ask now, I'll probably need to know at a point where I can't find the answer (say, at 4,000 feet and entering airspace)...
Thanks in advance
T
