Presumably for the America's Cup racing.

That link did not work for me... Searching for one that does.

The AIS website said it was not recognised. This one did work. It looks very similar

Thank you for replies . Yes , it was for the Americas Cup ! Flew in Friday morning and took people out on boat to watch the racing but the marshals were a bit over zealous!! You couldn't get within 1/2 km of the boats . Sadly Sat was cancelled. You would think that by now there would be a simple way of finding this information. The official Notam site said it had a map , but there wasn't one . My Airbox notams didn't work and even the local airports didn't know how to get a map !!!! Anyway , I didn't become part of any display on the way in so think it was fine !!
Well done Ben :D

Hi Nigel

I found it really simple... I went straight to the horses mouth - the Aeronautical Information Service (does exactly what it says on the tin) and looked at the list of recent AIC's. Found it in 30 seconds. No login or registration required :ok:

OH

You are fortunate. Like Nigel, I find that the link from the NATS site AIC for M045 does not work for me. The other links (M044 and M046, for example) do, but not that "one that I want".

Same for me . All I could get was the written info ( also saying includes Map )
But couldn't find any sign of a map ! It's fine listing a whole load of coordinates but sometimes you just don't have time to do them all on a map and even if you did there is huge scope for just getting it wrong !! A map is very simple and easy to visualise an alternate route . To be honest I really don't understand why it was restricted for so long ( 13hrs each day ) when there was very little going on for most of the time .....just a short air display and a couple of hours during racing when the TV ship was out there . Overkill as usual and it didn't even open until after 10pm every night .
Whole thing was a very big anti climax I'm afraid !!!

Well it was on Skydemon as i was parachuting just West of Totton on sat, sun cancelled due to British summer conditions !

There's clearly an issue then.

I was able to link straight from the list of active AICs to the relevant AIC complete with maps.
