Lba Twr/app To Macc Transfer
I've noticed in the last week or so when LBA ATC is advising pilots of the departure frequency, they are also adding the phrase "expect transfer at 3.5 DME". Does anyone know what this is all about ?
Thankyou

Well, Yesterday WOW482L went to MACC EAST before handoff, as the NM AIR Controller was trying to contact him after departure, but he had already gone to 133.8 without permission.
Dont know if this helps,

That is MACC East's frequency, but it will have been for MACC North and East on this occasion - WOW dont have any routes through the actual east sector!
This may have something to do with noise abatement, hopefully an NM person can shed some light.

It seems to me that LBA have had a complaint about aircraft deviating from the NPR. Hence if Manchester are not aware of the Leeds NPR and a/c are transferred before the end of the NPR then Manchester will turn them off the NPR. So all Leeds are doing are protecting themselves, by transferring a/c at the end of the NPR, from any public criticism. If this is the case, only speculation.
