AE:
that guy who says that it MUST mean a parallel proposal coming for controlled airspace round EGAE is wrong. It doesn't
As "that guy" I'd be interested to know what you mean. If the IAA implements CAS on the Irish side of the border which is delegated as required to Eglinton ATC, but there is no CAS on the UK side of the border, that means commecial air transport aircraft will go from outside CAS to inside CAS and back to outside CAS again between the initial, intermediate and final stages of an instrument approach to runway 08. I can't see the CAA approving that. It would also mean the crazy situation where a light aircraft flying at, say, 2500ft from west to east would require a clearance from Eglinton to transit the Irish side of the airspace but then on reaching the border could then just report leaving the frequency and carry on, directly over the airport. Again, I have a wee suspicion that DAP might have the odd view to express about that sort of arrangement.
