Route change for Cross Channel VFR route

The CAA has announced an amendment to the Recommended VFR Route between the Solent control area and the Channel Islands. The route, which provides an alternative shorter profile for GA flights between the south coast and the Channel Islands, is detailed in Aeronautical Information Circular 14/2007 (Yellow 233) and is being amended to reflect the origin of the route in the Isle of Wight. The change will take effect on 11 March 2010 and will be incorporated into the 1:500000 Aeronautical Chart ‘Southern England’ Edition 36. For more info see here.

The BGA recommends that before travelling to France with their gliders, owners make enquiries with the club they are visiting in France to confirm the applicability of this French mountain flying requirement.
