For any PPRuNers with inside knowledge of the DSA CAS application and who have defended it as providing a know traffic environment, I would be interested to know how that will be achieved for IFR inbounds from the east. The original proposal had a big chunk of CTA below Y70/L603, going down to FL75. The CAS as implemented omits this, meaning that aircraft will have to be kept at a minimum of FL110 until they're only 6nm from the airfield. I can't see how you can vector these inbounds on to the r/w 20 ILS from that position. It certainly won't allow for continuous descent approaches. Is the plan to vector them through the overhead then right hand downwind for 20? And was the eastern CTA ditched because of MoD opposition?
