Overview:
Between 18 December 2017 and 26 March 2018, Stapleford Aerodrome held a public consultation under the auspices of UK CAA CAP 725 for the implementation of RNP approach procedures to RWY21. The objective of the Airspace Change Proposal (ACP) was to introduce the Instrument Approach Procedure (IAP) to both formalise the use of instrument flight procedures for training purposes and provide an official instrument approach procedure to support the return to base flights for Stapleford aircraft and other aircraft when the weather conditions (e.g. cloud base) are below that required for VFR operations.
Since submission of the ACP comment response pack, safety case and other documentation as required by the process to the CAA, there have been further discussions about the need to create a known traffic environment in the immediate vicinity around Stapleford aerodrome beyond the boundary of the existing ATZ.
This consultation proposes the establishment of a Radio Mandatory Zone (RMZ) which, in the absence of air traffic control and a single frequency, would provide an additional mitigation to ensure that all (radio equipped) aircraft active in the affected airspace would be aware if the Stapleford IAP were active since such information would be available through the relevant ATSUs.

When requesting a clearance into the new Southend CAS, from April 2nd 2015, it would be advisable to quote the CTA number(s) that you want clearance into. Sadly the CTA numbers are not shown on the new 1:500,000 chart and so you will find this chart useful. We strongly suggest that you carry it with you when flying locally to help you ensure you get the clearance you want. If you have any questions or concerns please contact one of the instructors at Stapleford: 01708 688380.
