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. :)

Put me down for this one too please BRL

I'm up for that too BRL :ok:

Can you put me down as well please,

thanks
Mike

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.

Please stick my name in the hat as well, BRL. Thanks!

Yes please, but since I 'did' West Drayton earlier in the New Year, you had better put me near the bottom of the list if this gets over-subscribed.

TallGuy.

Can I come too please?

Easy Wycombe.

I've got your number!

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.

[Edited to add:]
I'd also be interested in seeing the presentations on SVFR and VFR.

Yes, please count me in for Farnborough LARS visit.
I speak with them >100 times a year, and would love to know what its like at their end!

Eh Moi,

I heard them and Odiham present at Waltham, excellent, but I've never been inside a LARS or any other ATC unit, so I'd be very grateful for the opportunity.

Would be very interested in this

*raises hand*

Please add me to the list if there's any space left... :ok:

Yes please, if there is room for me.

Thanks.

Add me please
AA.
