What is the transition altitude at Oxford?
The transition altitude in the Oxford Area, specifically beneath the Daventry CTA and
beneath the London TMA, is 6000 ft. The surveillance system will convert Mode C
level information to altitudes based on this transition altitude only, regardless of the
aircraft’s geographical position.
The transition altitude elsewhere, including in the Brize Norton CTR, is 3000 ft.

In what RPS is Oxford situated and which RPS’s are adjacent?
Oxford Airport is situated in the Cotswold ASR.
Due to the close proximity of Oxford Airport to the boundaries of the Cotswold (15),
Barnsley (12), Portland (13) and Chatham (12) ASRs, it is necessary to be able to
provide the regional pressure settings for all four areas. These are issued hourly by the Met. Office and available on the Met. display. The remainder are available through the FDMS.
What is the Safety altitude to 25 and 40 NM?
The safety altitude within 25nm radius of Oxford Airport is 2,200ft in the NE sector,
and 2,300ft in all other directions. At 25nm or greater, ATC Oxford use 2,500ft in all
sectors and this provides a minimum safe vertical clearance of 1,000ft above any
known obstacle within a 40nm radius.

Describe in detail the OX hold for runway 01.
- Left hand race track pattern
- 1 minute legs
- LHA 2000ft
- Inbound leg 097, outbound 277
- Aircraft will normally be required to hold not lower than 3500 or equivalent FL
- Entry into racetrack procedure restricted to Sector 3 entry from inbound leg (097°M) of holding pattern.
- The established NDB hold is impacted by EGD129 activity.
- ATC Oxford will co-ordinate the use of the hold in association with the instrument procedures with regard to promulgated activity in EGD129.
Describe in detail the OX hold for runway 19.
- Right hand race track pattern
- 1 minute legs
- LHA 2300ft
- Inbound leg 336, outbound 156
- Aircraft will normally be required to hold not lower than 3500 or equivalent FL.
- The established NDB hold is impacted by EGD129 activity.
- ATC Oxford will co-ordinate the use of the hold in association with the instrument procedures with regard to promulgated activity in EGD129.
What are the visibility minima for departures during LVPs for Runway 19?
Runway 19 – IRVR not less than 400 m. Exceptionally, departures can be supported to as low as 350 m IRVR subject to AOC holders ‘state authorised minima’. If any doubt exists, a declaration by the pilot on the R/T that they can depart below 400 m IRVR is sufficient. Oxford is not equipped to support any departures below 350m IRVR regardless of AOC minima.
What are the visibility minima for departures during LVPs for Runway 01?
Runway 01 (or all runways if IRVR is not available) – Met Visibility not less than 350 m.
What are the dimensions and published hours of activity of D129 Weston-on-the-Green Danger Area (paradropping site)?
Radius: 2NM
Levels: SFC - FL120
Hours: Monday - Friday SR - SS additional hours as notified.
What are the procedures to be used when D129 is active?
If parachuting activity has been notified, this information will be passed to any aircraft requesting an instrument approach, and the following procedures shall be adopted:
*
APP/APS shall instruct all aircraft intending to fly an instrument approach to remain outside D129
*
Oxford will ensure that all aircraft transiting D129 have vacated the promulgated airspace within 10 minutes of activity notification
*
Aircraft being provided with a radar service can be vectored for an approach when para-dropping is in progress, or fly the approach and hold procedurally whilst their position is monitored by the APS controller
*
The APS controller will issue warnings if any aircraft appears to be operating, or its track indicates that it may soon be operating in close proximity to D129
*
Aircraft in receipt of a PS may be cleared for an approach as long as the pilot confirms that the aircraft will remain outside D129 at all times.
Brize Norton ATC shall co-ordinate the movement of aircraft based at EGVN in and out of the dropping zone with Oxford Radar.
All other aircraft operating to or from D129 are required to contact Oxford Radar and monitor the Oxford Radar frequency for the duration of the drop.
For high level drops (above FL85) the paradropping aircraft will be inside CAS and requires clearance from TC COWLY. The aircraft will be in communication with Swanwick Military for the portion of flight inside CAS. Separation requirements apply between D129 and other aircraft. It is the responsibility of TC NW and TC COWLY to ensure separation between D129 and inbound aircraft released to Oxford

What is the radius, level and published hours of Croughton HIRTA?
High Intensity Radio Transmission Area (HIRTA)

What is a SUACS and who provides a SUACS for D129 and on what frequency?
Special Use Airspace Activity Information Service (SUACS).
RAF Brize Norton provide a SUAAIS for D129 on 119.000 MHz
What restriction is in place when Weston on the Green is in use by gliders?
Weston-on-the-Green aerodrome is also used by gliders, as detailed in the Weston-on the-Green LoA. Gliding activity will be notified by the gliding club representative, and this does not constitute activation of D129.
When Weston-on-the-Green is active with gliding, Oxford shall not permit any aircraft under their control to route within 2 NM of the gliding site below 3500’ (QNH).
What considerations is there when Compton Gliding Box is active?
Due to the intense gliding activity, TC controllers are not to clear aircraft to leave CAS in the vicinity of the Compton Gliding Box during the confirmed hours of the activity. Any Oxford arrivals during the Compton Gliding Box activation shall be coordinated with Oxford to remain clear.
If an Oxford departure is coordinated during the Compton Gliding Box activation, the TC SW Coordinator shall remind Oxford of the activation of the Compton Gliding Box and the need to remain clear.
What considerations is there when Daventry Gliding Box is active?
For the period of the gliding competitions, TC GS Midlands shall notify Oxford ATC of the activation/deactivation of the Daventry Gliding Box. Oxford ATC may request an ATC clearance into CAS for any departure tracking northbound towards the Daventry Gliding Box. TC Midlands should endeavour to give a clearance if able to accommodate, in order to climb above the Daventry Gliding Box.
