Details

The above activity is planned range use but in exceptional circumstances there may be additional activity at short notice.

The MOD is aware of the disturbance that can be caused to local residents by activity at the UK Air Weapons Ranges. Notification of the pre-planned extended operating hours will be published at the earliest opportunity.It should be noted that when an AWR is closed, the segregated airspace above it no longer has Danger Area status and reverts to Class G airspace, meaning that it becomes freely available to all airspace users (both civilian and military).

The MOD currently uses 5 AWRs for essential operational training:

  • Donna Nook and Holbeach in Lincolnshire
  • Pembrey Sands in Carmarthenshire
  • Tain in Ross-shire
  • Cape Wrath in Sutherland.
