Avoiding regulated airspace and notified activity
Infringements of regulated airspace, e.g. controlled, restricted or prohibited airspace without the authority to do so, are potentially dangerous and disruptive, and ultimately result in the curtailment of the freedoms to fly that all pilots need and enjoy. Similar issues apply where pilots fail to take into consideration notified activity such as aerobatic competitions.
The BGA strongly recommends careful pre-flight planning including of course careful checking of NOTAMs, use of a GPS moving map with current airspace files, and setting the device’s attention seeking vertical and horizontal warnings to provide ample time to react and avoid controlled airspace.
