This proposal is for a Permanent change to the notified airspace design, and the change level is TBC.
To enhance a safe operating environment for all airspace users, RAF Brize Norton is required to provide an Air Traffic Control Service to aircraft operating to and from the aerodrome.
The current containment and airspace configuration does not allow for this, with both IAPs inappropriately contained and SIDs passing through significant portions of uncontrolled airspace.
Transformation associated with the London Airspace Modernisation Programme 2 Deployment 1.1 (LD1.1) requires a change to departure procedures, and the introduction of RNP approaches at RAF Brize Norton. Change is also required to provide resilience to Defence’s strategic output to mitigate infrastructure issues, and support evolving operational requirements.
RAF Brize Norton seeks to comply with the CAA’s 2014 Controlled Airspace Containment Policy
