Purpose of this change

This proposal is for a Permanent change to the notified airspace design, and the change level is TBC.

This change proposal is about the restoration of the DSA airspace that has been subject to a CAA-sponsored ACP for the ‘Consideration of the removal of Doncaster-Sheffield Airport Airspace’ (ACP-2022-082). It will include the RNP Arrivals and Departures predicated on existing Noise Preferential Routes (NPRs) that form part of the Airports Section 106 Agreement, as previously consulted upon in 2016-17 and introduced in 2018. This proposal does not conflict with the stated aims of the UK Airspace Modernisation Strategy.
