Skysports Ltd have raised an Air Change Proposal that, if granted, would allow a Temporary Danger Area to be established as below:

 The lateral limits of the TDA would be:

Subject to regulatory approval, the UAS operations will be conducted for up to 10 weeks, commencing 10 April 2023, during weekdays only. The UAS operations will only be conducted when the TDA is activated.

The TDA will be activated for up to 5 hours per day, typically within the window between 09:00 and 15:30 (e.g. 09:00 – 14:00, 10:30 – 15:30 etc.). The exact timings of the 5-hour activation on each day are subject to factors such as weather conditions and operational needs. Skyports will promulgate TDA activation schedule by NOTAM at least 24 hours in advance. Based on NHS data, Skyports envisages operating at a minimum of 10 flights per activation.

If you operate within the limits of the proposed TDA, or will otherwise be affected by it, please let AOPA know, with your views and/or concerns: martin@aopa.co.uk
