Stage 3 Consultation on Keevil Airfield Airspace Change Proposal is now open

KEEVIL AIRFIELD AIRSPACE CHANGE PROPOSAL ACP-2021-006 CONSULTATION

The consultation period for the MOD Airspace Change Proposal (ACP) that is seeking to enable the Beyond Visual Line of Sight operation of Remotely Piloted Aircraft from Keevil Airfield has now begun and will last for 3 months, with the closing date on Wednesday 24^th August.

Details of airspace design options can be found online on Citizen Space. This portal includes all documentation for Stage 3 of the airspace change process as well as an online feedback form allowing both individuals and organisations to provide feedback on the proposal.

Citizen Space will be the primary method of responding to the airspace options presented. However, should anyone require hard copies of any of the documentation please send an email to 47RA-Project-LOVERIDGE@mod.gov.uk with a postal address, and printed copies will be provided. Additionally, hard copies of all consultation material will be provided at all physical events.

• Electronically via email: 47RA-Project-LOVERIDGE@mod.gov.uk
