As this is dated today does it have any influence on what has been posted recently on here?
The AIP Supp says "The changes detailed in the attached UK AIP Carlisle AD 2 Section pages will be effective from 5 July 2018" but also "The Carlisle AD 2 Section pages will be published in the UK AIP at AIRAC 10 effective 13 September 2018" which seems to mean that if you're consulting the AIP for Carlisle with a view to flying there when it opens, you should consider all the amendments to apply now (even though the Supp doesn't indicate which bits are amended!), but the airfield won't open till 13 September.
It must also mean that the CAA has now signed off the EASA Aerodrome Certificate.
Still rather odd that it says only Tower is available although the aerodrome is available to IFR as well as VFR traffic and there are IFR approaches. Clearly no-one can use those until they get Approach controllers validated and an Approach Control service promulgated.
Also clearly some sorting out to be done given that first commercial services are due to begin 3rd Sept but apparently no Approach Service till some time after the 13th.
