A good example is the west coast of Scotland at the moment. Normally extremely quiet, but at the moment..... there's a war on. And the NOTAMs contains nuggets such as :
LIVE FIRING WILL TAKE PLACE WI AND ABOVE THE CONFINES OF EGD803 OUTSIDE PUBLISHED HOURS OF OPERATION. THIS AIRSPACE DOES NOT COMMAND DANGER AREA STATUS.
Quite how live firing doesn't command Danger Area Status is beyond me.
As the hours and activity height are limited by the UK AIP, I can see why NOTAM'ed activity outwith those limits can't be encompassed as being within EGD803 (as it doesn't exist for the extra times or the extra airspace). Presumably the CAA have a constitutional reason why they can't grant it Temporary Segregated Airspace status (effectively a Danger Area). Perhaps they are awaiting the European airspace model of Single Skies ?? Or maybe because it's in Class G below FL245.
Hopefully the 'extra' activity takes place under appropriate safety measures such as 'Radar Clear Range' procedures
