How to improve
The CAA make decisions primarily based on conformity to set perimeters. This method is not always appropriate as certain circumstances ( Gatwick Departure R3) should not be considered in such black and white terms.

How to improve
Our reply to Q3 is also relevant to this question.

Tier 1a: Evidence of engagement

9. At certain stages in the process (starting with the development of design principles at Step 1b) the CAA will look for evidence of a two-way conversation to see that the sponsor has adequately engaged stakeholders. In paragraph C9 the CAA describes the evidence that we will look for as "detail of what sponsors have been told by their audiences; how they responded to this feedback; and how it has affected the proposals they are bringing forward".    Has the CAA adequately detailed what we would expect to see to know that a two-way conversation has taken place?

Please select one item
Radio button: Unticked Yes
Radio button: Ticked No
Radio button: Unticked Don't know
What else to show two way conversation?
More detailed information should be provided on how stakeholders are impacted and identified.
Actions to resolve or mitigate impact should be available.
Copies of all correspondence with stakeholders should be available.

Tier 1a:Third-party facilitation

10. At various points in the process (starting with the development of design principles at Step 1b) the CAA suggests that voluntary use of a third-party facilitator could be useful. Should the CAA be more prescriptive as to how and when a facilitator could be used?

Please select one item
Radio button: Ticked Yes
Radio button: Unticked No
Radio button: Unticked Don't know
Facilitator further detail
We consider that suitably qualified third party facilitator should be used at all times.
This will ensure that any implication of bias by the CAA is avoided.

11. Are there any other places in the process at which you feel that a facilitator would be useful?

Facilitator - which places
We feel that a suitably qualified facilitator could be useful to validate any part of the process.

Tier 1a: Categorisation of responses

12. In paragraphs 177 and C34-C36, and Table C2, we discuss the categorisation of consultation responses. The sponsor is required to sort consultation responses into two categories: i) those responses that have the potential to impact on the proposal because they include new information or ideas that the sponsor believes could lead to an adaptation in a lead design option or a new design option, and ii) those that do not. Is the CAA's explanation of the categorisation exercise and description of the categories sufficient?

Tier 1a: Options appraisal

13. In paragraph E25 and E34 the CAA states that methodologies for the various aspects of the options appraisal should be agreed between the CAA and the sponsor at an early stage in the process, on a case-by-case basis. This provides flexibility for different local circumstances. Does this approach strike the right balance between proportionality and consistency?

Please select one item
Radio button: Ticked Yes
Radio button: Unticked No
Radio button: Unticked Don't know

Tier 1a: Safety information

14. At each stage in the airspace change process that an options appraisal takes place, the sponsor will be required to submit a safety assessment. The sponsor will be required to provide a plain English summary of the safety assessment and the CAA will provide a plain English summary of its review (i.e. of the Letter of Acceptance, which forms the CAA’s review of the safety assessment) when it makes a decision. These documents will be available on the portal.   Do you have any views on specific information that should be included and/or excluded from the plain English summary of the sponsor’s safety assessment and the CAA’s review? 

Safety assessment
Any technical evidence submitted should be explained in a manner that is understandable, this should include any terminology used.

Tier 1b: Temporary airspace changes

15. Considering Tier 1b changes, to what extent does the draft guidance on temporary airspace changes meet the following criteria?

Comprehensible – it is clear to me what happens 1: the guidance is good and meets this criterion Radio button: Checked 1: the guidance is good and meets this criterion Comprehensible – it is clear to me what happens 2: the guidance mostly meets this criterion Radio button: Not checked 2: the guidance mostly meets this criterion Comprehensible – it is clear to me what happens 3: the guidance does not sufficiently meet this criterion Radio button: Not checked 3: the guidance does not sufficiently meet this criterion

Tier 1: Spaceflights

17. On 21 February 2017 the Government published the Draft Spaceflight Bill. As the foreword to the draft Bill sets out, “This legislation will see the Department for Transport and the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, the UK Space Agency, the Civil Aviation Authority and the Health and Safety Executive working together to regulate and oversee commercial spaceflight operations in the UK.” Do you have any views on whether this process could be used or adapted to suit future airspace change proposals to enable spaceflights, as anticipated in the Draft Spaceflight Bill?

Spaceflight
No.

Tier 2: Permanent and planned redistribution

18. The Government proposals talk about a Tier 2 change as one which is likely to alter traffic patterns below 7,000 feet over a populated area and which therefore could have a potential noise impact for those on the ground. The key requirement is that the air navigation service provider must demonstrate that it has assessed the noise impact of the proposed change and engaged with affected communities as appropriate. Which stages of the Tier 1a airspace change process do you think are necessary for a proposal categorised as a Tier 2 change? Please select all those which apply:

Checkbox: Ticked Stage 1 Define
Checkbox: Ticked Stage 2 Develop and assess

Checkbox: Unticked None of these
Checkbox: Unticked Don’t know
Tier 2 reasons
Any change in the impact of noise generated by a proposal should be fully evaluated and explained in plain English to those affected.

19. The CAA’s process for Tier 1a changes is scaled into ‘Levels’, based on the altitude-based priorities in the Government’s Air Navigation Guidance (i.e. where noise impacts are to be prioritised or considered alongside carbon emissions, a more demanding consultation is required). Could the future Tier 2 process also be scaled?

Tier 2 - other comments
No.

Tier 3: Other changes to air operations affecting noise impacts

21. To what extent does the draft best practice guidance on Tier 3 changes (other changes that may have a noise impact) meet the following criteria?

Comprehensible – it is clear to me what happens 1: the guidance is good and meets this criterion Radio button: Checked 1: the guidance is good and meets this criterion Comprehensible – it is clear to me what happens 2: the guidance mostly meets this criterion Radio button: Not checked 2: the guidance mostly meets this criterion Comprehensible – it is clear to me what happens 3: the guidance does not sufficiently meet this criterion Radio button: Not checked 3: the guidance does not sufficiently meet this criterion

22. Where industry does not follow the CAA’s guidance in respect of Tier 3 changes, or where there is a clear breakdown of trust between an airport and its stakeholders, is it appropriate for the CAA to publicly draw attention to this?

CAA action on Tier 3 further detail
This is where a suitably qualified third party facilitator would be most useful.

23. Considering the list of potential information proposed, would you suggest any additions which would help stakeholders, including communities, understand the impacts of Tier 3 changes and enhance transparency?

Additional information on Tier 3 impacts
This is where a suitably qualified third party facilitator would be most useful. Any information provided to stakeholders / communities should be written in plain English.

24. In relation to mitigating the impacts of Tier 3 changes, our draft guidance says that the focus should be on exploring the options for mitigating the change through two-way dialogue, because of the local and often incremental nature of Tier 3 changes. Does the guidance need to give more detail?
