NORTHERN ENGLAND AND NORTHERN IRELAND


Amendments for Northern England & Northern Ireland

Edition 47 effective 18 Apr 2024

The chart updates listed below are collected from a number of sources, and considered to be as reliable as possible. The Civil Aviation Authority whilst exercising great care in the compilation of this information, will not be responsible either for the accuracy or omissions therein. In the interests of safety, reference should always be made to the UK AIP, AICs, NOTAM and Pre-Flight Information Bulletins.

Chart users should refer here for the current list of En-Route Air Navigation Obstacles within the UK.
OBSTACLES WITHIN IRELAND: refer only to the Ireland AIP here.

VFR Chart Thumbnails

AIS have developed the following discretionary guidelines for the production of VFR Chart ‘thumbnails’ to supplement user guidance and notification of identified errors or changes within AIS products in cases where they are deemed to provide additional benefit. For example:

  1. When a significant chart error has been identified, requiring a NOTAM and/or correction via the AMDT Service and would be further supported by a thumbnail graphic.
  2. When the inclusion of a supporting thumbnail is deemed helpful to further mitigate the risk of possible ambiguity or misinterpretation of a chart update or correction.
  3. When complex airspace changes would be further supported by inclusion of a thumbnail.
  4. When a thumbnail will assist in clarifying an update to a particularly congested area of a chart.

Thumbnails will not be created as standard and remain at the discretion of AIS.  CRs updating high instances of features will not require a thumbnail for each feature unless deemed appropriate. Airspace changes over large coverage areas shall be assessed on individual merit.

Thumbnails are only created and published once the amendment in question has been peer checked and approved.

Any questions or feedback relating to VFR Chart thumbnails please contact vfrcharts@nats.co.uk
