I understand the proposal to change the Glasgow Class "E" to class "D" with a base of 2500ft was thrown out by the CAA, I believe now a base of 3000ft has been proposed with some other restrictions lifted to the west of Strathaven.....Once introduced an SSR monitoring code will be introduced for aircraft routing below this airspace that does not require any form of ATC service from other units i.e. "Scottish Info" The monitoring code will be to reduce R/T loading of VFR traffic working Glasgow/Edinburgh as the introduction of EFPS is not really VFR traffic friendly....
