This proposal is for a Permanent change to the notified airspace design, and the change level is 1.
• When the large RPAS Protector RG Mk1 comes into service it will require a diversion aerodrome for the eventuality that the RPAS is unable to be recovered to its main operating base at RAF Waddington. Pursuit of an ACP optimises an approach to establish suitable airspace to enable safe and efficient access to a nominated diversion airfield in the event that a diversion is required. Given the anticipated performance of on-board systems and the surrounding airspace classification, this approach will support the safe integration of Protector further into the national airspace structures and in accordance with current military flying regulation.
