active 2024-06-13 - Bristol (EGGD) - Changes to inbound agreements via EXMOR

[VATSIM UK Operations]

Effective 13th June 2024

Traffic via EXMOR (ADVED 1A, BAXUN 1A, DAWLY 1B, TOJAQ 1B) is transferred from Cardiff to Bristol when Cardiff is online. The following agreement only applies when Cardiff is online.

Traffic via EXMOR shall be positioned descending to MSL on a radar heading parallel to the southern CTA boundary, ideally within 2NM of that boundary. This traffic is therefore positioned within the Burnham Box (available via the 2406 sector file release). Traffic is released for right turn on transfer. 

During runway 27 operations, further turn or descent below MSL can be issued once traffic is east of the buffer zone and clear of the Bristol departure zone (Figure below).

During runway 09 operations, traffic is released for descent once within the Burnham Box and for turn once east of the buffer zone.
