ATC EGNJ Thanks
I needed to fly a non precission approach today as part of my IMC revalidation. EGNJ 03 NDB/DME was my choice but the ADF in my C182 was u/s. The lady radar controller gave me a SRA to 03 despite being extremly busy with commercial and private traffic - thank you

Quite easy - a Surveillance Radar Approach is a non-precision approach!
Are you thinking of a Precision Approach Radar? This is mainly used by the military, if they still use it. Difference is the provision of glidepath information which you dont get with an SRA

I fly in the Humberside area quite a lot, usually on the approach frequency with a radar service. I must say that I always find Humberside very professional and accomodating even when they are very busy. Thanks to the folks at EGNJ and keep up the good work!

I second all the nice comments about Humberside ATC staff. I talk with you quite a lot and whilst I appreciate you are not the busiest airport you accomodate us all even in your busy times. Thanks.
