Purpose of this change

This proposal is for an Airspace Trial, for which a scaled airspace change process applies and a change level is not applicable.

Air Navigations Solutions Ltd are an Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP), who provide Air Traffic Services under Licence to London Gatwick Airport and Edinburgh Airport. ANSL is seeking a volume of airspace over the west coast of Scotland for a six-month period in which to investigate the feasibility of the creation of an electronic conspicuity (EC) mandatory zone (ECMZ) in low-density airspace over rural areas that would enable the safe integration of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations with other airspace users.

Skyports Limited shall co-sponsor the airspace change proposal (ACP), contribute to stakeholder engagement exercises, and concept of operations (ConOps) and trial plan development. Skyports is a drone services provider, committed to creating positive change by connecting people, businesses and communities to vital supplies and services, such as healthcare, maritime logistics and e-commerce.
