Airspace Infringements
Thank you mm flynn for pointing me at the FLYONTRACK web site.
It appears that around 98% of NATS reported Airspace infringements are not "serious".
Is reporting them a good use of ATC time?
There is no detailed analysis of the "serious" ones.
Are they all GA pilots? Are they without transponders?
What common factors are there to these "serious" infringement?
Does anyone know where the detailed analysis can be found please?
Flyontrack makes a big thing of the cost of 747's having to go around as a result of Infringements but there are no statistics given for 747 go arounds in these circumstances.
Anyone know how many of these there are per year and how the cost compares with ATC holding delays on the ground and in the air?
I can see one of the LHR holds from my garden and it is in regular use. I can't see the go arounds so cannot comment.
