Olympic Airspace
Could I suggest that perhaps AOPA UK designate a week in July/Aug this year, when we should all file VFR plans with AFPEX when we fly in the proposed zone.This will show 'the powers that be' the chaos that is likely next year with the number of normal flights that take place.
I have suggested this by E Mail to the .gov site-no reply of course!
AOPA might not wish to rock the boat while talking to MOD/DfT at the moment, but there is no reason why an unofficial PPrune advertised weeks trial could not go ahead.
Talking to an ATC chum recently he commented that the primary facility at the moment in the zone -Fboro LARS, would be completely overwhelmed and that a new dedicated London Mil Cell would have to be created to handle the proposed restrictions if NATS will not pay. (lots of money so unlikely to happen)
