Any of you flying within Ireland should be interested in this proposal.
Weston to grab airspace and make it Class C
Seems like a lot of airspace for their purposes. I would have thought that Class E would have been more appropriate if something was actually needed. But reading the consultation document, it looks like it's a done deal already.
It's amazing how airports in the UK can operate heavy commercial traffic in Class G with just an ATCSOCA, but in Ireland we need Class C
I think this quote from the document tells us a lot about Weston's future
4.8.1 Hitherto, Weston has attracted a large amount of VFR traffic from abroad throughout the year. Notwithstanding the transition to predominant executive/business aircraft use in due course, it is anticipated that Weston will continue to attract visiting General Aviation in the next few years.
If you have a comment to make on it, you must do so by 11 April.
