The Secretary of State for Transports statement 30th Oct 2019 is much appreciated. Clearly a very important point is that.
"amount of controlled airspace should be the minimum required ...."
In the CAA Overview 1. It is good to see that in relation to controlled airspace it will in future be possible for.
"section to be removed ..."
Also.
"classification flexible ..."
It may be possible to open up considerable amounts of airspace to GA use simply by the use of flexibility. Airspace which during daylight hours is above most GA use, but comes down during night time. e.g. N601 in NW England. There could also be potential for controlled airspace to only become active in certain VMC minima or cloud base minima. At such times of poor visibility GA use will be much reduced while commercial traffic will be flying instrument approaches.
It is clear from the maps presented that there is no requirement whatsoever for any controlled airspace below FL100 (other than what currently exists) north of Leeds Bradford, east of Newcastle and Tees-side until Glasgow/Edinburgh airspace is reached north of the Scottish border.
