VFR rejoins @ EGHH via VRPs?
Hi guys,
I'm in the process of doing my CPL training, and my instructor always wants me to do visual rejoins for landing via the VRPs. I have always tended to keep away from VRPs, on the basis that everyone and his dog heads straight for the darn things.
I realise from a controllers' point of view an accurate position report is preferable with all those 7000's squawking at you, but is it necessary to give a positive fix, i.e. overhead XXX VRP, or are you happy rejoins via a random entry point for the reason I mentioned above, providing I can give you an idea of my position, e.g. 10nm NW, etc.?
PS for any EGHH controllers reading this, why is Tarrant Rushdon a VRP? It's a bitch to see, particularly in the winter sun. Blandford army camp is much more prominent.
