Reader's Question—Danger Area Notification (2)

David Miller writes:

Danger Area notifications.

I note the reply to a recent question on this point, but am having great difficulty in finding out any details of the danger or restricted areas apart from the information shown on the maps.  The Jepp map does not agree with the DFS map in all respects, either.  My attempts to log in with Eurocontrol and/or Olivia have met with the usual frustrations and failure to get anywhere.  Maybe I am not computer minded, but I find the whole thing very user hostile.

My query is whether R 24A can be penetrated with permission, or whether it is a complete no-no.  I want to route from ING through to Mackel and there are several Restricted areas at various levels.  I don't really want to go under them at 1100 feet but I need to plan my route (a rather complicated one, at the far end) before the week end so that I know what frequencies etc to prepare.

Have you any words of advice?

I am currently away from my books and papers etc therefore I can not look up your proposed route.
All the restricted areas are unactive during weekends unless advised under a special NOTAM.
All FIS will be able to advise you if the area is active or inactive.

I shall try to advise you further when I return tomorrow.
