Download the Consultation Document

Please note - on February 23 2009 NATS announced that it is to conduct a new consultation on revised proposals for the TCN region. Following simulation and technical testing of those new designs there is still more work to be done before we publish our plans for this part of the airspace. That work is on-going and we are unlikely, therefore, to make a decision on a date for further consultation until later in the summer.

The information on this website relates to the 2008 consultation, which closed in June 2008, and is being kept live for information only. The new proposals will be posted on this site when the new consultation begins.

The number of detailed maps in the document means many of the sections are large files and may take up to 2 hours to download on slower internet connections. Download times on broadband connections will be much faster.
