TAG FARNBOROUGH -THE FUTURE
Preliminary Consultation – 2008
Later this year TAG Farnborough Airport will publish an Airport Master Plan.
Airport Master Plans are intended to inform the planning process and the preparation of them provides an opportunity for local communities to engage with airports on future development.
TAG has published the following preliminary consultation document as
the first stage of the Master Plan process for the local and business
communities of Rushmoor and surrounding communities.
This document is intended both to inform and to seek views on the next stage of development for TAG Farnborough Airport.
TAG Consultation Document Part 1
Part I provides a summary of the principal matters relating to the future of Farnborough Airport
TAG Consultation Document Part 2
Part 2 invites you to comment on these issues.

FARNBOROUGH QUIET FLYING PROGRAM UPDATE
From 0700 on Thursday 8th May 2008 a new trial procedure for
departing aircraft will commence. This is a further refinement of
procedures under the Quiet Flying Programme that has been underway
since May 2007.
The new trial will be based on the routing of the aircraft from
runway 24 only. If the aircraft is routing to the north, the
existing procedure of 2 miles straight ahead using the best rate of
climb will continue. If the aircraft is routing to the south, the
aircraft will be instructed to take a 20° turn to the left after
reaching a safe altitude (normally 500ft).
The aim of this trial is to route aircraft over the unpopulated
areas of army land and therefore reduce the amount of aircraft
passing close to Church Crookham.
The black
line on the map below gives an indicative route of how this may look.

The trial is expected to run until November 2008 when the data
gathered from the 18 month trial will be examined with a view to
formalising procedures in 2009.
TAG would welcome comments regarding the trial on the dedicated
phone line 01252-526001
