I attach the PDF link below. Paragraphs 1.27, 6.17 and 6.18 is of interest to GA, although other parts may be relevant as well. https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/a-new-aviation-strategy-for-the-uk-call-for-evidence In addition to the survival of existing airfields I would also comment on c...

One slight concern I have is if Farnborough gets even a small part of its requested airspace (because of objections from several directions), will that airspace become more intensively utilised such that a transit becomes even more difficult?

Just wondering!

This is much needed. The most recent example, the London Airspace Consultation under LAMP Phase 1a resulted in the continued growth of Class A airspace and thus prohibiting VFR operations even further. Objections to the classification seemed to be ignored, even though airports like LCY continued to ...

A number of threads have popped up over the years concerning the possibility of windfarms, power lines and other obstacles being built near the vicinity of aerodromes, followed by appeals to respond to consultations or petitions to stop them happening. Instead of gathering thousands of signatures, s...

The depiction of the airspace there has been an unreadable mess for years.

For a landowner to 'impound' a plane in such a manner for such a length of time is deeply disappointing and frustrating. Following the recent press release statements by SHH, is there anything that the LAA can or should do to satisfy any landowner's concerns surrounding "safety" in future, such as p...

I've used it a few times. When I had my refusals due to the danger area being active, I didn't want to fly any lower for a variety of reasons and tried to squeeze into the ORIST gap but failed and infringed Q41, in clear VMC. I was talking to Southampton at the time who was helpful but unable to do ...

The revised airspace west of Farnborough with the 1500ft and 2000ft bases looks to me like a serious infringement hot-spot.

I've received confirmation these volumes will all be Class A.

NATS has circulated another proposal, circulated to NATMAC members, on proposed new volumes of airspace for the Thames Estuary and Kent. It's not clear what the classification of these new volumes of airspace will be but if it ends up at Class A and lowered to 5500ft over the sea then I think its cl...

Do you have a copy of the Method Statement and Risk Assessment form that you can share with us?

including those Class A fillets, then it would be an absolute shocker.

Huge volumes of Class A airspace will grabbed on the south coast if the CAA approves the change.

If anything its classification should be highly resisted.

Perhaps, but if this group of pilots did not bother to check their NOTAMs, I further doubt they would be aware that a more recent chart would have been available for purchase, that is assuming one was published outside the standard print cycle, and then actually be bothered to go and buy it. It was ...

It's disappointing that a high numbers of pilots could not be bothered to check the NOTAMs and/or pick up the radio to enter the RMZ. This same group of pilots would probably continue to infringe as they've done before once it becomes CAS. LAMP implementation needs to get going again so that we can ...

compromised by some of these airfields with delusions of grandeur . and ensure that airfields and CAT properly consider the rights of all airspace users rather than only their own commercial interests. Perhaps but should there be an LAA Aerodrome Team that deals with light aircraft access issues to...
