My long planned flight to the Europa event at Popham was very regrettably cancelled due to bad weather forecast en route from Norway.

But clear skies are definitely ahead! Stephan and I are planning to fly our Europas to Duxford EGSU for the big event in mid-July (arriving Friday, leaving Monday to avoid the worst traffic, parking & hotel reservations are already made).

Coming across the Channel at Dover, it looks straight-forward to fly clear of Stansted CTR/CTA to the east and later north. How about London TMA, any special issues to be aware of?

After Duxford, we plan to fly to Bembridge EGHJ on Isle of Wight. What would be a good route to follow on this leg?

We will be very grateful for any good advice.

To those of you having made it to Popham/doing the preflight inspection now to fly there: Enjoy the day!

Regards,
Svein

Svein,
Your routing to Duxford is good and you will just have to stay below the London TMA which is sometimes as low as 2000 ft on your route. No need to talk to London/Heathrow but if you wanted you could talk to either Farnborough North or Essex Radar.
As for the Duxford/Bembridge flight you could route south to BPK, staying below the London TMA at 2500 ft then route west and south around the Heathrow zone. If you talked to Farnborough North and Farnborough West they would almost certainly allow you to route overhead Farnborough. The route is then straightforward south to Bembridge. Don't forget to PPR them as per their website.

Svein, The only strong advice is not to bust their
airspace - they get rather vindictive! If I am routing
north of Stanstead down to Dover I would probably go
Duxford / Wratting Common / Overhead Earls Colne /
overhead Southend / DVR. There is a listening squawk for
Stanstead of 0013, listening in on their frequency of
120.625 which is worth using whilst you are close to their
boundary ( You do not contact them - just listen in - they
are then much more relaxed if you chose to go really close
to their boundary). Earls Colne is fairly quiet and you do
not need to contact them as long as you are well clear of
the top of their ATZ, but Southend is busy and runs a
radar service. They are very helpful and it is well worth
talking to them from 10 miles out and asking for a basic
service. You can also get a radar service from Manston,
but I don't usually bother and talk to London Info instead
(124.60)
Sorry not to see you this W/E but weather is not the
best!
Regards, David Joyce, G-XSDJ
