Rejected petition Safeguard UK airspace for the General Aviation community and other stakeholders
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.
