The National Air Traffic Management Advisory Committee (NATMAC) is a non-statutory advisory body chaired by the CAA. The Committee is consulted for advice and views on any major matter concerned with airspace management and strategy matters.
It is widely recognised that engagement activities of an airspace change sponsor usually includes engagement with relevant NATMAC members. This is because NATMAC has representation from across the UK Aviation community. The CAP1616 airspace change process specifically requires engagement with relevant NATMAC members during the early stages of the process to support the development of design principles and design options prior to formal consultation occurring.
NATMAC also assists the CAA in the development of airspace policies, configurations, and procedures in order that due attention is given to the diverse requirements of all users of United Kingdom airspace, civil and military.
The Committee is chaired by the Head of Airspace, Air Traffic Management & Aerodromes at the CAA. Membership is at the chair’s discretion and remains under constant review.
