During the Summer a piece appeared in our local newspaper apparently written by a somewhat excitable journalist.It was characterized by phrases such as "an aerial motorway" etc.Hacking through the hysteria,I drew the conclusion that changes had been proposed that would enable the Luton landing stream from LOREL to pass North of the field (instead of to the South as at present)when 08 is in use.I attempted to get some info straight from the horse's mouth by telephoning the Luton Airport Press Office.I was told "its so the pilots can come in from five miles".I didn't see much point in pursuing that line of enquiry any further.
If my interpretation is correct presumably
changes will have to be made to regulated airspace to the North of 08 extended C/L either by lowering the base or by establishing new controlled/special rules airspace.Can anyone fill in the gaps for me,please?
For info,I am ex CAA/NATS (rather a long time ago) and no longer involved in aviation professionally,but I like to keep my "finger on the pulse"
