Not every aircraft heard near Ashlow is Ashlow's. When the records show it was not, we say so plainly and tell you who to contact instead. You still get a reply within 10 working days.
The short form for a concern
Part of the showcase. This form sends nothing. Nothing you type leaves this page or is saved.
Concern checked. Nothing was sent.
This is a showcase and Ashlow Airport is fictional, so nothing left this page. On a real airport's site, this would reach the community team, and the 10 working days would start today.
The rules the airport keeps. Hold us to them.
No movements at night
No aircraft arrive or depart between 22:30 and 07:00. Not by extension, not by exception.
No training flights
No flight training and no circuit flying.
Routes away from the town
Departures follow noise preferential routes away from the town and the villages nearby. The drawing shows them.
Ground runs in set hours
Engine ground runs only between 09:00 and 18:00 on weekdays, and only in a set area.
departures turn away from the town
ground runs 09:00 to 18:00, weekdays

Flight paths cannot change without public consultation.
The airport cannot change its flight paths on its own. Any change would go through the CAA's airspace change process (CAP1616), with public consultation. No change is proposed.
A small fund for local groups
A small community fund supports local groups. No amounts are shown on this showcase. Groups can ask about it on the community line.
Tell us the date, the time and where you were.
Call, email, or use the short form above. We reply within 10 working days.
