NATS Infringements
17th Jul 2012, 21:58
The NATS team at Farnborough have requested that we remind the GA community about an option available to transponder equipped aircraft operating beneath and around the peripheries of the Farnborough temporary controlled airspace.
From 14 July to 15 August 2012 (the period of the Olympic CAS(T)), in order to both prevent and mitigate the consequences of airspace infringements, pilots operating in the Farnborough (West) LARS area who are unable or do not wish to receive an ATS, are encouraged to select the Farnborough Frequency Monitoring Code (*5047) plus Mode C, if equipped and to listen out on the Farnborough (West) LARS frequency 125.250 MHz. This will allow Farnborough ATC to attempt to establish contact with an aircraft which is displaying such a code and which is considered to be infringing, or is likely to infringe, controlled airspace in order to resolve the situation quickly and efficiently. Selection of such codes does not imply the provision of any form of Air Traffic Service. Further information regarding Frequency Monitoring Codes is available at UK AIP ENR1-6-2-4 para 2.5.
