I have an upcoming RT practical and I've been asked to ensure I'm aware of a few specifics for the test, yet despite almost exhausting what resource I have at hand, such as CAP413, RT Guidance leaflet(s) , not forgetting the Pooleys Air Law & Communications books and the interweb, I find myself having to place a couple of questions here. PPL Student.
Which service to request when entering a new airspace class? To date all my training has asked for basic service. Nothing else at all, and that's via areas that are known to have radar service, which can offer a higher grade of service. When and where should I ask for traffic service as opposed to a basic service?
Next question: SVFR zone transit in Class A: Again a specific point that I cant seem to find specific guidance for what the appropriate RT is. At present I'd simply request the controller of the zone for a zone transit and pass details etc. Does transiting Class A message differ to any other ATZ/MATZ crossing, as the guidance I've come across to date seems to be the same. Is this correct? thanks
