For anyone thinking of Flying to Weston, or in the general vicinity of Dublin/Weston, please be aware that from 3 August 2006, Dublin's CTR has been significantly expanded.
Weston Airport will be enclosed in Class C airspace, along with a large chunk of airspace known as R15.
I'm not sure if I can link directly into the Eurocontrol website, but I'll try!
Try clicking here for the AIRAC (http://www.ead.eurocontrol.int/eadbasic/pamslight-4F408CA4C9662F21F8AEF0A6ECAAB0B9/ENX7SHJ56S2BE/EN/AMDT/AD/AIRAC/048-2006/EI_Amdt_A_2006_48_B_en_2006-08-03.pdf)
If you can't use the above link, you can get it by logging into the Eurocontrol website and looking for AIRAC 48B.
You can clearly see the new airspace structure on page 21....the VFR approach chart for Dublin.
The good news for you IFR flyers, is that Weston now seems to have an Instrument approach based on its new VOR. The details are also available on the above document.
