My understanding on airspace is a fundamental realignment of the London TMA, scrapping the holds and moving to a gradual STRAIGHT LINE continuous descent from I think 18k although I'm sure Mr Reid can clarify.

I am sure I read this in a NATS DOC !

This would in effect make it parallel approaches straight in from somewhere just south of Southend.

The spokesperson suggested

"nobody has asked us about how we implement this yet , nor the impact on other airfields ".

Q. Does this not double the risk of terrorist attack?

Not only are you doubling the traffic over The Capital but increasing the footprint.

Would one cataclysmic event not stop this in its tracks ?
