"Pilot's" view on Farnborough Air Space take-over

[PB]

“This decision sets an appalling precedent, granting controlled airspace to one section of general aviation at the expense of the rest of us,” comments Pilot Editor Philip Whiteman.

“TAG Farnborough has sought to partition off a huge area of the sky not to ‘protect’ (the safety case simply does not stand any real scrutiny) fare-paying members of the public, but wealthy private individuals and business executives.

“TAG has made promises about facilitating passage through the airspace they would control, but private pilots know well the limitations to the number of aircraft that can be accommodated and fear the resulting bottleneck in GA traffic attempting to navigate around controlled airspace will hugely increase the danger of mid-air collision.

“Flyers and indeed the general public should be asking why the CAA seems to value the life of say a racing driver being flown in his private jet over those of a family travelling in a light aeroplane.”

I've been looking at the documentation and trying to understand what it means for the The 'Bushe.

It looks the new Farnborough CTA will encroach the southern side of the ATZ, although the airfield itself will be just outside.

What I can't tell (there seem to be various versions) is whether that CTA is down to surface or has a base of 1500'?

If the latter, the 'Bushe circuit could operate below/outside it, but otherwise it looks like you might aswell be operating from an airfield inside Class D?

Thanks Malcolm, I was sure it was called a CTA on the maps, but am obviously mistaken (it's also a good few years since I needed to understand this stuff in detail, so had forgotten the distinction).

I'm familiar with some of the fields you mention - one suspects that an LFA (eg, to enable circuit flying within the new CTR) will be necessary as it is in some of those cases?
