Title: Daventry CTA 6

Amend ID: CRA-2020-001

Purpose of this amendment: Our analysis of the airspace usage at the lower levels of DTY CTA 6 showed that it was rarely utilised by CAT, and its Class A status at the lower levels was difficult to justify.

The objective of any proposed change to the classification of DTY CTA 6, is to ensure that the classification of the airspace is fit for purpose, with safety and equitable access as primary considerations. 

Status: Withdrawn

After a comprehensive review, the UK Civil Aviation Authority is withdrawing our proposal to amend the base level of Daventry CTA 6 airspace due to safety concerns identified through our analysis with NERL. This decision emphasises our commitment to the highest levels of safety for all airspace users.
