  1. Heathrow trials An Overview.

  2. Trial Purpose: To concentrate all departures into a few narrow corridors to: • Reduce the pressures on air traffic controllers, and • Reduce aircraft separation.

Impact on our area: Trial 1 • Moves existing Midhurst westerly departure corridor westwards into our area. • Forces all departures into our area, rather than being spread out over a wide area. • Corridors spread is from just east of Sunningdale to just west of Heatherwood. • Impacts most severe in Sunninghill, as affected by all 4 routes (2 from each runway).
