(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations revoke and replace the Air Navigation (Restriction of Flying) (Scottish Highlands) Regulations 1981. Apart from minor drafting changes the following changes are made:
1. The positions of the coordinates are stated by reference to WGS 84, the World Geodetic System, which has been adopted worldwide. This change has resulted in very small changes to the actual position of some of the co-ordinates.
2. The authority which may authorise flying within the restricted area is the Low Flying Booking Cell at RAF Wittering or such other authority as may be notified by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) in the United Kingdom Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP).
3. For the purposes of regulation 6(2), the frequency utilised by the person in charge of Tain Range Danger Area is notified by the CAA in the UK AIP.
