Volcanic Activities
|
| Volcanic
ash clouds present a serious hazard to aircraft.
The North Atlantic Region includes areas of volcanic
activity, particularly in Iceland. The United Kingdom and
Iceland have agreed a contingency plan to take account of
this activity which is likely to affect flight in the
Reykjavik OCA, the Shanwick OCA and the Scottish FIR/UIR.
The plan sets out standardised guidelines for
alerting aircraft when eruptions occur and procedures to be
followed by the United Kingdom and Iceland when planning
routings around the ash cloud.
The
Volcanic Ash Contingency Plan is available for download from
