If traffic to Heathrow is exempt, and others require ATC clearance right down to the ground anyway, rarely given because of Heathrow conflicts and generally (in my experience) given a routing well away, just what does this new measure achieve additionally ?
But it may give some backside covering value in the event of an incident that might expose people to the question of "why was there not a no-fly zone?" |

His clearance to fly thru the notional no-go area around LHR flightpaths was granted in about 5 seconds by the ATCO. I guess they are used to the Royalty flying in to and around Windsor.
This whole thing could not be more of a "non-story". It will change nothing at all. |
