Calling all air traffic controllers

Where can I find information as to who can and can't fly in a class 'A' TMA in the UK?

Having an Instrument Rating might be a distinct advantage...

....and a serviceable Mode A & C transponder takes the guesswork out.

Like many questions - have a look at the AIP - it's online and free.

Lightbulb

and if its the LTMA and flying anything sizeable, you'll need a Mode S capable transponder which can do Enhanced Surveillance unless you blag a concession from the CAA......(like half the airlines seem to have )

Results for control area tma restrictions class a. (0.09 seconds)

Thanks to all that replied.

However, after trawling through the AIP and ANO (let's face it - these documents need to be brought into the twentieth century i.e. being able to search for keywords or strings), I found the answer in black and white after a quick search on the net in the first few lines.

Airspace in a nutshell!

Nice and concise, in plain english and found in less time than it takes to turn the first page of the ANO.

Like it says at the top of that website:

I notice there are a couple of mistakes so be sure to take notice of the note!
