New Airspace near Àger :-(

New Catalunya airspace
The Spanish civil aviation authorities are finally catching up with us! In recent years they have turned a very blind eye to the entire issue of restricted airspace but I fear that is about to change. The opening of the new Lleida airport has changed the restrictions in the area around Àger, Castellonroi, Vilanova and Organyá :-(
It remains to be seen whether we can 'NOTAM' our way through the mess - this will be a challenging year for 'airspace infringment police' during the many competitions scheduled for the area!

Hi Nicky !

So there is a real issue if we fly over 1677m in front of Monsec ?
That is really low !
