This proposal is for a Permanent change to the notified airspace design, and the change level is 1.
All the major airports surrounding Farnborough (including Heathrow, Gatwick and Southampton Airports) are participating in the FASI South programme and proactively coordinating their ACPs with NERL to modernise the airspace and improve the vertical and lateral profiles of their routes. The wide scale airspace upgrades planned for the LTMA through the FASI South programme present an opportunity to potentially improve CCO/CDO performance for Farnborough operations, reduce the volume of Controlled Airspace, create the capacity for efficient growth, appropriately manage the adverse effects of aircraft noise and to reduce CO2 emissions. To capitalise on the opportunity, Farnborough has decided to start a new ACP that is intended to align with the FASI South programme and help to deliver the airspace modernisation objectives.
