Letter of Agreement

A new agreement is in place as of 24 November 2005.  It is currently relevant to some or all aspects of paragliding from the following sites:

Broughton Heights
Moorfoots (both ends of the ridge)
Hillend
All Pentland Hills within the Edinburgh CTR (the Class D circle around the airport), including:-
Carnethie,
Scauld Law,
Hamburger Hill,
Scroggie.

The actual Letter of Agreement can be viewed here.

In addition, a dialogue has been opened with NATS regarding a route northwards from Tinto.  This is contentious airspace and further discussion has been postponed until April 2006.  It is known however that the sailplane community have negotiated a route through between Edinburgh and Glasgow at 3000ft or 3500ft.  We hope to agree the same or a similar corridor.  N.B.  THERE IS CURRENTLY NO LETTER OF AGREEMENT ALLOWING XC FLYING ABOVE 2500FT IN THE CTA TO THE NORTH OF TINTO.  But watch this space!  

The special rules relating to each site are discussed on a dedicated page for each site (see links at left).  But in all cases the general rules and procedures must be adhered to.  (No we don’t like rules, but yes it’s necessary to be strict about this to protect these agreed privileges).  Please read the general provisions first.
