This proposal is for a Temporary change to the notified airspace design, for which a scaled airspace change process applies and a change level is not applicable.
The MOD is selling RAF Scampton which it hopes to complete in early 2023 and the Team will relocate to RAF Waddington prior to this date. Availability of EG R313 to the Red Arrows for its training over RAF Scampton will be contingent on the sale and the nature of the development delivered at the base. To cater for the eventuality that full use of EG R313 will no longer be available to the Team, the MOD is exploring alternative airspaces in Lincolnshire to enable the Red Arrows to continue to train; RAF Syerston has been identified as potentially suitable. To determine whether RAF Syerston is a viable option for establishment of new permanent airspace, a temporary airspace structure is required to test the site and assess what the impact would be on local aviation and ground stakeholders.
