Folks,
Today while flying (here in the UK) I did a practice Pan on 121.5. I was
surprised that even though I was at 3000ft LATCC couldn't get a DF fix on me
and it took about 3 minutes with a dedicated transponder code in order for
them to locate my position. Is this because I have a composite aircraft??
Incidentally they gave me a practice diversion to the nearest airfield which
I know closed 4 years ago! and they didn't know about the airfield I fly
---From just 3 miles away that opened 7 years ago.
Regards
Kev T
