Solent Area Listening Squawk starts Thursday 28th Jan 2010 – the squawk is 0011, the frequencies are 120.225 MHz and 119.475 Mhz and if you want to read a one sheet pdf on it, please go to either the hot news item on the home page or the links page on FlyOnTrack
If you are east of a line from Stoney Cross / Lymington / Yarmouth IOW then recommendation is 120.225 (Solent Approach), west of it, Bournemouth approach 119.475. Usual rules, you are not getting a service, you must not enter controlled airspace, you just listen out on the frequency, set the squawk 0011 with Charlie if you can, do NOT announce yourself, just listen in. When moving out of the area or just as you change to another frequency, set something else relevant eg: 7000-C.
If you do want an airspace crossing or a service, this scheme is not for you, call them in the normal way.

Delusions of grandeur. I get more transits across Stansted than Soton

I thought the use of the word ‘Soton’ was reserved for Sotonians only?:D

If you do want an airspace crossing …….. this scheme is not for you, call them in the normal way.
And they can then tell you to ‘remain clear’ as usual
