December 4, 20214 yr https://www.nats.aero/news/the-biggest-airspace-change-ever-implemented-in-the-uk/ NATS has today implemented the biggest ever geographical airspace change in the UK, removing long-established air routes over Scotland and freeing aircraft to choose their most direct flight path. The new Free Route Airspace (FRA) covers approximately 150,000nm2 of airspace over the North Sea, Scotland, North Atlantic, Northern Ireland and a small portion of northern England Wonder how long it will take for this to be reflected in sim...?

December 4, 20214 yr Thanks for posting Kevin. Good to see continuing improvements in aviation's contribution to improve the environment. I see overall FRA will gradually increase its coverage over most of Europe within the next 9-10 years with the whole of the UK not achieving complete coverage until end of 2026 since, as you mentioned, there is still today only partial coverage across the Scottish ACC and London Control ACC centres. Yes, I wonder if or when IVAO and Vatsim will adopt these new procedures. That will keep the ATC controllers busy I think!

December 4, 20214 yr We've implemented it for Lisbon and St. Maria FIRs since 2013, if I'm nt wrong ...

December 4, 20214 yr Interesting. Will likely take ages to be reflected in the sim (P3D) though, unless you use aero.sors.fr data and Navigraph. @Christopher Low You cannot just go round treating all of your virtual airspace as Class G. If everyone did that, society as we know it would fall apart!! 😆 AMD Ryzen 5800X3D; MSI RTX 3080 Ti ; 32GB Corsair 3200 MHz; ASUS VG35VQ 35" (3440 x 1440) Fulcrum One yoke; Thrustmaster TCA Captain Pack Airbus edition; MFG Crosswind rudder pedals; miniCockpit FCU; CPFlight MCP 737; Logitech FIP x3; TrackIR MSFS; Fenix A320; A2A PA-24; HPG H145; PMDG 737-600; AIG; RealTraffic; PSXTraffic; FSiPanel; REX AccuSeason Adv; FSDT GSX Pro; FS2Crew RAAS Pro; FS-ATC Chatter
December 4, 20214 yr My airspace.My rules On a side note, only three days to go to my A320 full motion simulator session in Manchester I will try to get a few photos.
