Many of you know that I represent AOPA on AIS issues.
I've had a long-standing complaint about the use of airways waypoints in NOTAM scoped for VFR. It doesn't help visualisation if you use a point that does not appear on the CAA VFR chart. Typically these are used to define low-level temporary class A to protect flights arriving/departing at a/d that are not connected to the airways network.
Following now received from AUS (Airspace Utilisation Section of the CAA) who are responsible for originating such NOTAM.
Mike,
Further to our discussions at the last AIS Consultation Meeting. We have now arranged (Through DAP AC&D staffs) for the following, frequently used, CAS(T) Awy beacons/way-points to be included on the CAA VFR Charts (hopefully on the next edition due in Mar 09):
Malby
Mosun
Retsi
Niton
CPT
I trust this will help your GA members with their flight planning and their avoidance of CAS (T) originating from Farnborough & RAF Lyneham.
