Hi Guys 

When the Caelus guys started up I registered to be informed of info on all 5 trials, N1- N5

The two in  in the West (1  wholly in Glasgow CTZ, the other Stonehouse Hospital to Arran) didn't really seem to bother us. We've lodged pretty fierce opposition to the one in the Borders and now I've had this  notice about the  two in your patch..  I've had a bellyful of this stuff over the last year and a bit, frankly,  so I'm just flagging this  up to you , in case you weren't aware of it,  so you can put your 2p in if the trials might blight your flying   

We gained a pretty valuable concession on the Borders one,  that the'y only do their trials ( in prime XC time, early May to late June!] before 10am, so  it shouldn't  interfere with  any XC flights from 3 of our most used sites , so they're not wholly unreasonable. 

Happy to share the reps we made for our one if they'd be  helpful.

Over to you.

Alistair

Dear Mr Bowman,

 

You are receiving this briefing pack because your organisation was identified as an Aviation Stakeholder that might be impacted by the BVLOS RPAS flights (and associated temporary segregated airspace) planned as part of CAELUS2 Future Flight Challenge project. The flight route this pack refers to has two legs, which connect a) Aberdeen Royal Infirmary with Dr Gray's Hospital b) Dr Gray's Hospital with Raigmore Hospital.

 

Consideration of other airspace stakeholders requirements have been applied when creating this proposal so that the impact on your organisation and members is minimised through adjustment of the segregated airspace designs and timings of our operations. We appreciate that there are specific needs you might have that we are not yet aware of, therefore we kindly invite you to a dialogue and we will see if there are any further reasonable adjustments we can make to our proposals or specific agreements that can be achieved between Project CAELUS2 and your organisation.

 

We would really appreciate if you could carefully review the following material with the appropriate members of your team and get back to us as soon as possible, but no later than 25 March 24 with any questions/requests or a confirmation that you are happy with the proposal and have no objections to it. The deadline of 25 March 2024 is there to make sure that we have sufficient time to discuss stakeholder needs and adjust our proposals as required by 8 April 2024, when the engagement is completed and the ACP is due to be submitted.

 

We will, however, remain available beyond that date and throughout our planned period of operations in case your circumstances change or should we require to update you on our plans. Information will be also regularly updated on the UK CAA portal (https://airspacechange.caa.co.uk/PublicProposalArea?pID=527) .

 

As required by the ACP process any comments and consequent replies will be included in the ACP submission pack to the CAA and shown on the ACP Portal however all personal details will be redacted. Kindly note, that some stakeholders may require a signed Letter of Agreement and/or arrangement of special procedures. If you believe that LoA is required for your organisation and you don't hear from us within 1 week of receiving this pack – please reach out to us and we will be happy to assist.

 

Regards,

Project Caelus2
