Following representations from AOPA UK the CAA has modified the restrictions that had been imposed on GA when volcanic ash exceeded limits.
Fron 12:00 UTC on 18 May 2010 new guidance to Air Traffic Units replaces ATSIN 182. The new Air Traffic Services Information Note, ATSIN 184 in respect of declared "No Fly Zones" reads:-
"5.2 ATC and FIS Providers should not offer a service within a NFZ unless the pilot is operating under VFR and the aircraft is a glider, balloon or piston powered aircraft and not operating for the purpose of public transport.1 This restriction does not apply to operational emergency services flights (e.g. Air Ambulance).
ATC and FIS Providers may also provide a service to an aircraft in the above categories within controlled airspace that is:
• operating under VFR within Class D airspace;
• operating under Special VFR in other controlled airspace provided that it is the only aircraft in that airspace block."
