Purpose of this change

This proposal is for a Permanent change to the notified airspace design, and the change level is TBC.

This airspace change proposal will make changes to the ATS route network and STARs serving Liverpool Airport and Manchester TMA airspace. The proposed changes will interface with SIDs and STARs serving Liverpool airport. Liverpool airport is currently in the process of proposing changes to their SIDs/ Arrival transitions. The changes proposed by this ACP will be coordinated with, and will complement, the airport’s proposals. This proposal is part of the Future Airspace Strategy Implementation - North (FASIN) programme of changes.

Step 2a : Develop & Assess

This step has been started

During the Options Development Step, the change sponsor develops one or more design options that address the Statement of Need and align with the defined design principles.

CAA response to Step 2a

11/06/2021: The CAA is satisfied with the Change Sponsor's assessment of the contextual consideration and agrees the proposal can resume. However, until iteration two of the airspace change Masterplan, including the associated programme plan has been assessed and accepted by the CAA and Department for Transport, as co-sponsors of airspace modernisation, no indicative timeline can be agreed by the CAA for this airspace change proposal. It is anticipated that the Develop & Assess Gateway for this ACP will not be before Q1 2022.

09/07/2021: Until iteration two of the airspace change masterplan including the associated programme plan has been assessed and accepted by the CAA and Department for Transport as co-sponsors of airspace modernisation, the full indicative timeline for this ACP cannot be confirmed. The Define and/or Develop & Assess Gateway(s) within the published document 'Indicative Timeline - July 2021' are subject to change.

12/04/2022: Until iteration three of the airspace change masterplan, including the updated programme plan has been assessed and accepted by the CAA and Department for Transport as co sponsors of airspace modernisation, the full indicative timeline for this ACP cannot be confirmed. The Gateways within the published document 'Indicative Timeline - April 2022' are subject to change.
