Coventry Airport: Safe local operations

The Midlands Local Airspace Infringement Team is asking pilots to remember Birmingham Controlled Airspace – in particular Control Area 2 with a base of 1,500 feet AMSL – when visiting Coventry Airport. 

The Airspace & Safety Initiative’s Coventry Airport: Safe local operations guide covers details of the Birmingham CTA, Coventry ATZ and joins and approaches to Coventry.

It also includes practical tips to reduce the risk of an airspace infringement, including local advice to level off at 1200ft QNH when climbing out of Coventry to allow an extra margin below the base of Birmingham’s controlled airspace.
