This proposal is for a permanent change concerning the implementation of a GNSS Instrument Approach Procedure Without Approach Control, for which a scaled airspace change process applies and the change level is 3. The detailed process requirements are published in CAP1961.
There is a business need to improve the operational efficiency of the aerodrome, in particular to provide improved services to operators with an approach to be used when currently, delay or diversion results from periods of reduced cloud ceiling and/or visibility.
Following the publication of CAP1961, the opportunity to reintroduce an instrument approach to runway 25 utilising an RNP approach has been chosen.
No new controlled airspace nor extensions to previous procedures laterally or vertically are required.
