Looks like the Birmingham CTR / CTA class D airspace has reverted to class G until tomorrow at 6am.

[Lefty]

Same at Southend. Yesterday was NOTAM’d airfield closed and CTR withdrawn.

Probably key staff self isolating at home and unable to sustain minimum staff levels.

[Tim Dawson]

They’ve gone green in SkyDemon. Very satisfying.

[Hawkwind]

If it has reverted to Class G, how (and why) are you to report at entering and leaving Class D as they say in the NOTAM, as it no longer exists?

That NOTAM was only valid between 0300-0330 and 0520-0550 but now seems to have disappeared!

[welkyboy]

Only between the hours of 0100-0600.

May I suggest you read the official notam

Would indicate only one controller available and taking their required 30 min rest for every 2 hours of operational duty.

[Iceman]

Solent Class G from 1500 today for the rest of the day - refer to NOTAMs.

[Lefty]

Oh - I am so tempted to go fly around their zone..........

[PaulB]

Birmingham have (in the past minute) just asked Pakistan 791 if he can make an approach in class G airspace under a deconfliction service as the airspace has been accidentally cancelled.

[PaulB]

... it seems to be just the CTA that is affected.

[FlarePath]

I'd MOR him if he did, we all know ATPL's don't have Class G ratings...

[Hawkwind]

It doesn't read that way to me as the Schedule is 0100-0600
