Airspace Change

Scroll

A change to the use or classification of airspace may be simple and straightforward to implement with little operational or environmental impact. Alternatively, an airspace change may be complex and involve significant alterations to existing airspace arrangements, including aircraft routing; such changes may have an effect, positively or negatively on both airspace users and the public who live in the areas below, any change.

Osprey have a solid track record in delivering both simple and complex airspace changes in an efficient and cost-effective manner. A number of our staff have a regulatory background, and we maintain an excellent working relationship with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), borne out of mutual respect for our individual working perspectives.

Any airspace change requires adherence to the Civil Aviation Publication (CAP) 1616 process and Osprey can provide a full suite of services from management to support across all 7 stages of this process.

Specifically, we can assist in all the following areas:

  • Application of the airspace regulatory process to assist the implementation of emerging technological developments (spaceport and advanced air mobility developments)
  • Identification of your Operational Requirements and assistance in developing suitable airspace solutions
  • Design revised flight procedures (to conventional and Performance Based Navigation (PBN)/ Area Navigation (RNAV) standards)
  • Assessment of all airspace design solutions, including Transponder Mandatory Zones (TMZ), Radio Mandatory Zones (RMZ), as well as non-airspace solutions
  • Full project management of the Airspace Change Proposal process, including the implementation

Again, Steve Elks and his colleagues have provided outstanding support to the STAMP project and associated Safety Committee, always providing sound advice and at times providing order to proceedings when meetings go off on a tangent.

All associated with the STAMP project respect Steve’s views and comprehensive knowledge of the world of safety.

I, STAMP team look forward to working with Steve and his colleagues at Osprey Consulting Services for a long time to come.

The successful delivery of this significant ATC project would not have been possible were it not for the support of Osprey CSL and I’d like to thank them for their work.  Working closely with our project team, they helped to take an aspiration and turn it into a viable project that could be delivered within time and on budget. We have worked with Osprey before and I’m pleased with their technical knowledge and willingness to further enhance the technical excellence already present within our airport in order to form the most effective delivery team possible.

The team at Osprey were outstanding in their approach to our project and throughout the timeline the team were fully supportive with their communication and interaction.

The output from the team proved to me that they deliver high quality pieces of work.

Glasgow Prestwick Airport

As part of the overarching aviation safety case for MARS Tanker, Osprey were requested at very short notice to provide independent safety assurance for the new to service Kelvin Hughes ATM radar. The task was agreed and completed within a week fully meeting Project expectations and timeline enabling the ATM case to progress to the regulatory acceptance phase on time.

At short notice Osprey picked up and delivered, to the CAA, an extremely well researched piece of UAS analysis with a number of recommendations that we can take forward into delivery. The work is high risk and will inform political decision making in the UK and set a precedent across the world. The work they have delivered to date has met the agreed scope and quality. They have delivered to the timeframe and within the cost agreed without the need to direct or oversee the detail, which was extremely important especially when one of the reasons for the commercial arrangement with Osprey was due to internal resource constraints. The review and report they have completed will feed directly into UK Government policy as well as influence European and International policy direction for RPAS.
