Confusion ! Easyplan says 125.8 as under TMA. What is it ?
If you look at the map, we are just South of the N4 which is the boundry for SRW 125.8 but because our circuit (where majority of our flying is done) is North of the N4 (In 124.8 ) we are using 124.8
Great, but please advise the correct protocol for changing over to 124.8 . . . would it be at 5 miles out, if coming from SRW side?

Thanks!

Hi John
We normally change over at 3 miles and below 5500' ,other GA aircraft in the SRW area are above 5500' in our area.

We will have an Advisory service on the radio Saturday to advise of runway in use, wind as well as other traffic in circuit. Callsign will be "Kroon base"

John you shouldn't need to change if you get airborne at Aeroden and route east, stay on 124.80 and that's that.... Call kroon 5 miles in bound, join overhead at 5500.... Watch for traffic, gets really busy, (last year some chop who shall remain nameless cut right in front of me after being on a15 mile final approach) and it's that easy.... Also make sure your windscreen is clean as at that time of the morning the sun can be right in your eyes....

Have fun !!,
