An airspace change to establish a new Class D Control Area (CTA) in the vicinity of London City Airport has been approved by the Civil Aviation Authority.
The CTA is additional to the existing London City Control Zone and will enhance the containment of existing London City flight procedures within controlled airspace whilst minimising the overall impact on other airspace users. The new airspace arrangements will take effect on 13 April 2006. Advance details of the changes will be published in Aeronautical Information Circular 19/2006 (Yellow 194) dated 2 March 2006.
Pilots should note that this airspace change will be incorporated in the 1:500,000 Aeronautical Chart ‘Southern England’ Edition 32 that will be published on 16 March 2006 with a note to indicate that the airspace change does not come into effect until 13 April 2006.
Additionally, the change will also be incorporated in the 1:250,000 Aeronautical Chart ‘England South’ (Sheet 8) Edition 10, to be published on 13 April 2006.
