The UK has produced a series of VFR guides, some written by controllers who are also pilots, which give local advice on recommended routes, detailed charts and aerial photographs of significant features and VRPs. Norway has a general guide for VFR flight that gives details about the local issues relating to flight in mountainous terrain. Plan time and fuel calculations for the longer route.Ĭost – The information is freely available so the only cost will be time. Have a decision point a few miles from CAS rather than right on the boundary as it will make diverting around the airspace much easier with less possibility of infringement. If you are planning a controlled airspace crossing, always have a back-up to avoid the airspace in case a clearance is refused. You are more likely to achieve a smooth transit if your route is perpendicular to the runway rather than aligned with it. A route may be composed of segments of different routing types.
