It should be 4500’ amsl as the TA in this area is 6000’. All other sectors would appear to be correctly labelled. After a bit of investigation it would appear that this is due to an error in the AIP. ENR 2.1 defines it as FL45, but the aerodrome area chart in AD 2 shows it correctly. I have notified NATS AIS, but In the meantime people need to be aware that the possibility, although unlikely, of an inadvertent infringement exists, and SD may be cited as a cause.

I spoke on the telephone with EMA ATC who confirmed it's an error, and the person I spoke to seemed to think that a request to change the AIP would have to come from them. I've had a fairly brief response from AIS - I'll forward you my mail and their response.
