active 2025-04-17 - Edinburgh (EGPH) - Changes to Glider Circuit at Kirknewton (EGKT)

[VATSIM UK Operations]

Effective 17th April 2025

When Kirknewton Radio is online, the Kirknewton Circuit / Soaring Area (in red in the below figure) becomes active, up to altitude 3700 ft. Edinburgh APC will then route all traffic to avoid the area.

Edinburgh APC will pass traffic information to gliders in the area by addressing “Kirknewton Radio” on 121.205 MHz (INT frequency), who will then pass this on their own frequency.

Edinburgh APC controllers should remember that, because Kirknewton is a military airfield, they need not provide top-down coverage when Kirknewton Radio is offline.
