infringements

Hello all,
I believe that in the LTMA there were over three hundred infringements in 2006. The vast majority were by GA pilots, be they PPL, SPLs or profesionals such as flying instructors.
There were less than 10 infringements by military aircraft of the LTMA in that time. I think but can't be sure that it was actually significantly less than 10
The CAA only look in to prosecuting pilots if a CA939 (breach of air navigation regulations) has been filed. 9 times out of 10 when they have investigated they decide that some retraining is appropriate or a caution is issued.
When a pilot has been prosecuted there is normally an overwhelming reason for it. I know that this year a pilot flew around Heathrow for almst an hour causing enormous disruption. The pilot was recently taken to court and a substantial fine was leaved.
The controllers at LTCC generally do not file CA939 unless significant disruption has occurred or a serious loss of separation resulted from the Unauthorised penetration of CAS.
