London CTRs’ SVFR Weather Minima Review

To maintain high standards of flight safety within the London and London City Control Zones (the London CTRs), the CAA intends to change the weather minima applicable to Special Visual Flight Rules operations.

Our proposal is to introduce a required cloudbase limit and to increase the minimum visibility allowed. We are conducting stakeholder engagement, from 5 December 2024 to 12 February 2025, to seek your feedback on this proposal.

The engagement document, Revision of Special Visual Flight Rules (SVFR) Weather Minima Criteria for Operations Within the London & London City CTRs details the rationale behind our proposal, and includes links to online Citizen Space consultation to provide your views, comments and feedback.
