I came across this earlier via FB, so copy here for information.

As an aside, it appears to make the LLR a de facto TMZ/RMZ. Is that new? (Edit: It doesn't do this despite wording in the Barton document - see below. Also, it's not an RMZ of course, because it's Class D)

Looks like good reasons to go elsewhere frankly.

Why bother when at the end of all that there's just Barton?

You brought that on yourself by living in the land of cream teas and pasties. Those of us domiciled in sensible parts of the country have no cause to crawl the Mancunian tunnel :lol:

Or just call up and request for transit.... which is not hard given today's much reduced scheduled flights.

Could someone closer to this contact Barton at the email address listed to ensure that there is no confusion?

Within the Ops Notice, the asterisk highlights that full details including non radio / no transponder arrangements can be found in the full briefing document - I'm sorry if that wasn't clear. :cry:

The Ops Notice was published in good faith as we wanted to highlight that Manchester have begun to apply the LLR procedures to the letter and have very recently started checking any aircraft not following the procedures, so we want to help avoid anyone getting caught out.

Of course its still pretty straight forward hopefully so as long as you squawk 7366 and listen to 1818.580 (or follow the procedure if not suitably equipped). :thumleft: Or as someone else suggested you can always ask for a clearance!

Thanks @rightofway. The reason it's not clear is that it explicitly says that the following rules "must" be followed, one of the musts given then being to squawk 7366.

It turns out that's not in fact a "must", but that's not what the document tells people.

Thanks, I can see that could be misinterpreted if not read with the * bit, I'll get an amendment out for where its published just to be clearer! :thumleft:
