Stage 5 : Decide

This step has been started

Stage 5 is where the CAA reviews and assesses the final airspace change proposal. The CAA may need to request supplementary information or technical corrections and clarifications from change sponsors. At this stage, for Level 1 changes, stakeholders can request for the Secretary of State to 'Call-in' the proposal. For some Level 1 changes, the CAA may arrange a public evidence session and/or publish a draft decision.
