[VATSIM UK Operations]

Effective 18 April 2024

Departures from Luton and Stansted routing via Dover (excluding DET departures) cross the LOGAN 2H/L980 track. In order to prevent these aircraft turning right, TC NE shall transfer these departures displaying a 'D' intention code on a radar heading.

This traffic routes via M84 (cruise >FL195) or M85 (cruise <FL195) and is transferred by TC North East to TC East climbing to FL150 (GW) and FL110 (SS).
