The "buffer" airspace between Edinburgh and Glasgow which covers Cumbernauld needs updated to reflect its upgrade from class E to class D. Relevent NOTAM and AIC below.

So basically when you hover your little mousey arrow thing over that piece of airspace in the Sky Demon application, the pop-up info box should read:



Glasgow CTA

Vertical: 3000 ft - 6000 ft

Class: D

Radio: Glasgow Approach on 119.100

We've consulted with NATS on this, and because its upgrade to class D is only an interim change (pending further review) we have left it as it is, for the moment. If and when a permanent change takes place (the AIP is updated) the SkyDemon chart will be updated. We'll also update the chart if on further consultation with NATS we're told that it's likely to stay as class D for a considerable time.

In the meantime, anyone plotting a route through there in SkyDemon will see the NOTAM in their briefing.
