Farnborough LARS Visit, Mid-August......
Hi all. Another visit to Farnborough Lars is being arranged right now. Have not got the exact date sorted yet but expect it to be around mid-August sometime.
Feedback from the past few tower visits indicated that the LARS visit was the most beneficial to ppl's. This is no-way undermining the visits to Heathrow/Gatwick/Luton/West Drayton etc as they were superb in thier own right but as I say, feedback was good from the LARS visits.
Our good friend of the forum, AlanM recently wrote a Powerpoint presentation about SVFR and helicopters and presented it to RAF Odiham's flight safety day which went down well. He is hoping to write a similar presentation for VFR if interest levels are there so let him know what you think here please.
So, names below, you know the drill......

I would be very interested in the visit BRL. Unfortunately I am away until the 16th August but if it is after that I would very much like to go.
I spend enough time talking to them it would be nice to visit.

Hi All,
Just posting to say I paid them a visit last year (with a few other Wycombe pilots) and had a thoroughly interesting and hospitable afternoon. If you fly in the area, or want to see the work of a LARS unit (in their case co-ordinating lots of IFR traffic in an area of busy Class G) at first hand, I'd recommend it.
You might meet AlanM's better half aswell.

I'd love to go - they are in my area and I've use them when I go past, so it would be great to see things from their side.

I'd also be interested in seeing the presentations on SVFR and VFR.
