From the Barton website,
www.lancsaeroclub.co.uk :
"Local Area Airspace Restrictions
Restricted Airspace will be in force from 22nd July until 5th August. All pilots intending to fly from Barton for this period are advised to
AIC 43/2002 Contains the details.
PPR Required
Due to certain restrictions during the period of the Commonwealth Games, pilots of inbound aircraft are advised to telephone beforehand for PPR. Call us on 0161 7877326 and ask for ATC. "
Whilst the city centre TRA is wholly within Class D/A airspace, and a/c flying in accordance with a clearance from EGCC ATC are exempt from the restriction, I imagine that Manchester will not be readily granting zone transits during the games.
Additionally the TRA arond Chorley, as Sir George says, is right in the middle of the Local Training Area for Barton traffic.
Please, everyone read the AIC and the posters around Barton
