However, I’ve heard from a source within the inner DFS ‘circle’, that they think their FIS approach (VFR separated from IFR) is superior and should be an example for other countries as well. I dearly hope, it won’t.
Well, one thing I appreciate is the fact that I have joined up radar coverage over the whole of the country, means I can head north to south, east to west without coming into an area of controlled airspace where the local controllers treat their class D as “restricted” and refuse you transits, then squeeze you down corridors where you believe you’re in Indian country because there’s so many Cherokees around…..
I’m talking about, of course, UK. Offered the chance, I’d take Germany over UK FIS any day of the week and twice on Sunday….
