"Catflaps - Routing ain't Infratil or the councils responsibility! Its
the CAA/NATS/Zone ATC and finally the captain of an aircraft
job to find the safest route for a aircraft."
So, can I just check that I've got this right? The airport has agreed a set of flight routes with the local authority. These have been put onto maps, which are being handed out to members of the public who ask what the routes are. But the airport has no control over the flight routes and no means of means of ensuring that aircraft stick to them. Is Manston in controlled airspace?
