Belfast TMA change from Class E to Class D

[John Brady]

Dear Members,

NATS is proposing to change the Belfast TMA from Class E to Class D. You can fly VFR in Class E without clearance but in Class D you always need clearance or some form of special agreement. If this will be a problem for you or if you can give us a view to help develop the LAA response please post on this thread or email us through [email protected] The NATS notice is below with a weblink to the proposal.

John
