This is not a NOTAM (but it should be)
In the spring this year a new wind farm construction started some 5nm west of of EGMD (Lydd). It consists of 26 windmills each 377ft high, these are almost all in place now.
In the spring I contacted NATS and they said they would pass the information to the CAA. I waited for a NOTAM to come out but there was nothing.
Last week I wrote a MOR and I have had a reply to say that they are waiting for the Defence Geographic to get the full details. In the meantime nothing in the NOTAMs, plenty of information about cranes etc around Kent and London.
With military helicopters going to D044 and pilots flying along the coast it is a potential problem in marginal weather conditions. In fact I know of some who have been "suprised".
I know that the pilots should have missed them by 123ft, but comming upon them suddenly is not much fun.
This is just for info. as the NOTAMS system does not seem to work. I would hate to have a pilot being more than just "suprised".
I´ve had my bitch now and feel better, back to the beer.
