Brandon O’Reilly (CEO TAG) to Eagle Radio on 27th March 14: “Local people will see aeroplanes climb more quickly into the airways and not fly low over their communities. The benefit we believe is more precise flight paths, aircraft flying higher so away from local communities at a higher level and away from other airports around this area."

Typical EGLF Arrival Profile from the South 3100’ 6000’ 7000’ 10000’ Southerly arrival routes WELL ABOVE normal glider tracks / Class G

Current Situation Today Farnborough Southerly arrivals are in controlled airspace most of the time ~10,000’ ~7,500’ ~6,000’ LTMA 6500 LTMA 5500 Gatwick Departures (West) LTMA 4500 LTMA 3500 Liss Farnham Farnborough Chichester Bordon Petersfield View Looking West

Proposed Situation Farnborough create dedicated airspace At low altitude below current ~10,000’ ~7,500’ ~6,000’ Gatwick Departures (West) LTMA 6500 LTMA 5500 ACP 4500 LTMA 4500 ACP 3500 LTMA 3500 ACP 2500 ACP 2500 “Killer Corner” Liss Farnham Farnborough Chichester Bordon Petersfield

23 - 36/day 42 - 65/day 42 - 65/day 19 - 29/day 27 - 42/day The shaded area represents the proposed narrow corridors that flights would be concentrated into. This represents use runway 24, which is most common (80% of the time) Indicates the likely number of flights that Farnborough predict within each corridor in 2019 Indicates the likely highest noise level from overflights in the corridors as indicated by TAG. Refer to the separate table for an explanation of how this dB level may be perceived. Note that most arrivals and departures would be at a significantly lower altitude than they are currently due to the lowered airspace – they could sound up to twice as loud as they do now for currently overflown areas. The background shading shows the density of current aircraft – it can be seen that the majority of areas will only benefit by less than one overflight per day.

However, they have not quantified these benefits and made it very difficult to interpret. In reality, benefits are likely to be marginal. The negative impacts have been understated – there will be significant changes to the noise climate for people under the proposed flight paths. They are not following CAA best guidelines on presenting noise impact issues in an ACP. The information supplied is unclear, difficult to interpret and misleading to the layperson. 19 - 29/day 60-64dB 27 - 42/day 64dB 15 - 23/day 60-64dB

Impact of the Southerly 2500 corridor The proposed low level 2500 Airspace South of Farnborough creates a serious safety and environmental issues The creation of a Pinch-point over Petersfield where all GA traffic is forced around at much lower altitude than now A significant narrowing of the corridor between London TMA and the Southampton zone from over 20 miles to 6 miles Significant increase in noise / emissions over local towns 2500 4500 A 20 miles 2500 2500 A 6 miles 3500 4500 4500 4500 5500 This Southerly corridor brings mid-air collisions to an unacceptable level Whilst increasing noise and emissions over towns dramatically
