The consultation is specifically not addressing any of the following as these are unrelated to, and unchanged by, the introduction of the new procedures: ..................
Changes to any airspace around the aerodrome
Changes to any airspace around the aerodrome
GNSS Approaches
GNSS approaches at small aerodromes do not require the establishment of any form of controlled airspace. Note that this application only provides for an Air Ground (a/g) radio provision so no control. The CAA has in the recent past been sticky about this requiring an AFISO but if they are changing from this view that is progress.
Flight operators around Stapleford Tawney including helicopter, gliding, microlite, model aircraft, parachute and hang gliding sites will all have to be consulted and agreements, if at all necessary, made with them. It is envisaged that most of the above will not be operating during periods of IMC and unlikely to be affected.
Training will of course need to take place including during VMC conditions. I would expect Stapleford to provide within their operating orders that a lookout (Flight Instructor) is always on board on these occasions. They have stated already that VFR operations will not take second place to GNSS operations. They will need to provide to the CAA how this is to be safely achieved.
