Modernising Midlands Airspace
The ‘Modernising Midlands Airspace’ airspace change proposal is now at stage 3, following which new airspace designs are finalised by the sponsor.
This airspace change proposal is described as ‘a step towards systemising UK airspace between the London TMA (LTMA) and the Manchester TMA (MTMA), which is referred to as ‘Midlands Airspace’. The existing airspace has not been designed to modern standards and still has routes based on ground based navigational infrastructure which leads to significant controller intervention..’
Clubs and individuals are encouraged to identify any significant issues that would impact their operation and feed those back to the BGA via their club airspace officer or the BGA office, or respond direct to the consultation.
