Safeguard UK airspace for the General Aviation community and other stakeholders

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

In July 2018, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) approved Farnborough’s Airspace Change Proposal (ACP).

Farnborough’s (ACP) poses a threat to VFR flights, creating choke-points and increasing the risk of near misses and actual mid-air collisions.

- Lasham Gliding Society (LGS) has honourably contested this decision and are fully supported by the General Aviation (GA) community.

- On the 10th of October, (LGS) applied to the High Court for judicial review of the CAA’s decision.

- The independent review body Helios identified a number of substantial failures with regards to the CAA’s (ACP) application process.

- Farnborough’s (ACP) application must be prevented from establishing a dangerous! precedent.
