Restricted Zone service provision

Throughout the Olympic periodsmaller airspace restrictions will beplaced around other events atHadleigh Farm, Essex; Broxbourne,Herts; Hampden Park, Glasgow; StJames’ Park, Newcastle; City ofCoventry Stadium, Coventry; Millennium Stadium, Cardiff. Thesewill normally be of similar size andduration to restrictions placedaround other events such as musicfestivals and major sporting events.Details of these restrictions will beavailable by NOTAM and alsothrough www.skydemonlight.com

Prohibited airspace will be put inplace over the sailing Olympic Village at Weymouth from 14 July 2012 to 12 September 2012 from surface level to 3000 ft AMSL. Allaircraft are prohibited from flying in this area except - police, emergency medical, Coastguard Searchand Rescue, Olympic Broadcast Service aircraft, scheduled IFR traffic to and from Bournemouth Airportand selected MoD aircraft. Special operating procedures will be developed for Eyres Field gliding site.

Statutory Instruments to implement the changes willbe made towards the end of2011.

Through ASI there will be acomprehensive communications and education programme tohelp keep airspace users up-to-date on aviation-relatedOlympic news.

The CAA and MoD will be arranging visits and briefings at airfields in andnear the restricted airspace.

The www.airspacesafety.com/olympics website will becontinually updated. The sitealso allows you to enter e-mail addresses and mobile numbers to be keptup-to-date on news and receive an Olympics airspace e-newsletter.

The aim of the Government’s air security restrictions is to establish aknown air traffic environment within the Restricted Zone. A special dedicated service will be provided by MoD controllers based at NATS’Swanwick centre known as Atlas Control. This will be an extensive operation aimed at providing a service to as many users as possible.

However, the overriding security requirement to establish a known traffic environment places a finite limit on the capacity of this serviceand entry to the airspace will only be permitted once all the regulationsto operate in the Restricted Zone have been met and a VFR flight plan(where required) has been filed via AFPEx or AFTN and an approval codehas been issued acknowledging receipt and the offer of a service. Aircraft on a continuous flight, leaving the Restricted Zone and on an approved flight plan will be guaranteed access back into the area on thereturn flight.

Aircraft leaving controlled airspace into the Restricted Zone will be required to comply with the rules for operating within the RestrictedZone. The service will however ensure that there is available capacity toaccept all aircraft leaving airways to either transit through, or landwithin, the Restricted Zone.

The MoD and NATS will also be providing a significant enhancement tothe AFPEx support and processing team that will include a flight planning reception centre and significant manpower dedicated to thetask.

Further details on the transit service and flight planning will be providedlater in 2011.
