10W, a couple of genuinely interested quickies:
Firstly, lifted from the ScACC RAS thread (author NorthSouth):
As from 15 April, the NATS Standard Route Document is being amended to list the ATC preferred route for traffic up to FL215 between Aberdeen and Newcastle/Norwich as ADN DCT NEW (it's currently listed as via P600, TLA and L602). A footnote warns that radar services on the direct route may be limited and only those with a formal contract can use Scot Mil.
I would suggest that this is an interesting and pragmatic development. One would presume that NATS & MoD have reached a mutually satisfactory arrangement for this route?
Nevertheless, if the ADN-NEW airway is so important, where is the evidence of NATS fervently pursuing an ACP? Has the issue been presented to JFADT?
