This proposal is for a Permanent change to the notified airspace design, and the change level is 2C.
The objective of this airspace change proposal is to truncate the Gatwick Airport CLN 1M 1V 5P 5W SIDs. There will be negligible change to lateral tracks or vertical profile as a result of the truncations.
The current conventional CLN SIDs from runway 26 have long sections where the flight profile is limited to 6000ft, however, typically aircraft climb above 6000ft earlier. Truncation of these SIDs would offer the potential for economic and environmental benefits through decreased fuel consumption as aircraft will not be required to fuel for the full procedural SID profile.
