The classification determines the flight rules that apply in a given volume of airspace and the procedures that must be followed.
 
Normally based on a two-year cycle, the proposed new procedure will have three stages:

  • Consider, in which we decide whether to launch a review
  • Review, in which we use appropriate intelligence, including continuous monitoring of airspace safety, access or utilisation issues, to draw up a draft plan of airspace volumes where a case could be made for amending the classification, and consult airspace users on that plan
  • Amend, in which the CAA for the first time takes on the role of designing and proposing amendments to airspace, with essential input from the controlling authority for the airspace concerned, and then consults those impacted by the final proposals.
