This is the interim NIA report
Of concern is the following:
3.2 Of the 537 responses from individuals or organisations not on the consultation
list, all except 3 objected to the proposal. It is unusual to receive such a large
number of responses from a particular sub-set of the aviation community which,
from the initial analysis appeared to be based on objections to common issues.
Indeed it appears that this might have been an orchestrated campaign against
the proposal (through corporate websites and other means) outside the accepted
process for consultation promulgated by the CAA. It should be noted that the
national representative organisations of all aviation interests are formal consultee
organisations by virtue of their membership of the CAA’s National Air Traffic
Management Advisory Committee (NATMAC). This apparent action outside the
recognised consultation process is the subject of further evaluation and
discussion with the CAA.
and
4.1 Collectively, all of the comments received (including those from non-consultees)
will be subject to a detailed analysis and review by NIA in order to identify issues
of concern and derive a balanced and well reasoned Final Report.
I am amazed at their arrogance and have just emailed
Phil Roberts, who is listed on the CAA website as the person responsible for airspace management. His email is phil.robertsATcaa.co.uk if you want to do the same.
