restricted areas
Not all the restricted areas are explained on the CAA charts. If I wanted to find out more about one how would I go about it, if it was not on the actual chart?
Springfield restricted area R312 near Blackpool for example.

Why would you need to know what they are??....if they are Restricted it means keep out.....most though are Nuclear Power Stations or some form of Nuclear activity just like Springfields, not a power station but they dabble in nuclear things!!

Most restricted areas around prisons only apply to helicopters, although Full Sutton High Security Prison has a GA airfield next door - most convenient!

er.... if a restricted area does not appear on the chart, how are you expected to know it is there?

I meant the actual details at the bottom of the chart arnt always there. I think all restricted areas are displayed on the CAA charts.
