Purpose of this change

This proposal is for a Permanent change to the notified airspace design, and the change level is 1.

Shetland Space Centre is looking to protect vertical launches from its spaceport. Protection will be required from surface up to orbit for protection of the rocket trajectory / flight path, prior to and after each launch. A suitable volume of airspace will be needed to ensure the separation of civil flying from launch activity

Step 5a : CAA Assessment

This step has been started

During the CAA Assessment Step, the CAA reviews and assesses the airspace change proposal, and for Level 1 changes offers a Public Evidence Session. The CAA may request minor changes to the proposal. The CAA prepares assessment papers to inform and provide guidance to the airspace change decision-maker.

CAA response to Step 5a

01/08/2023: The CAA has completed the document check and is satisfied that the change sponsor has provided the required documentation.

12 Dec 23 - The revised airspace change process (CAP 1616, Version 5) will be implemented on 2 January 2024. This ACP will remain a Level 1 and will continue to follow the process requirements as set out in CAP 1616 Version 4.
