Select |
Description
S20, known as Hurn/Seaford, is a relatively complex sector due to the amount of co-ordination required with French units. Traffic is mostly North/South.

Radar
Primary filter: SFC-UNL / Secondary filter: SFC-UNL
Conflict settings: 8nm* / 900ft (8nm is set to give advance warning of conflicts. Minimum separation is 5nm.)

Bandboxing
S20 is the second AC sector to be opened. When online it provides a bandboxed service to S20 and S26. S10 may also hand off S28 if controller workload is too high.
Checklist to open S20:
- When no other AC/TC/MACC sector is online S20 shall be open in full group config (S20+26+28)
or - When S10, STAFA and TC are online S20 will open bandboxed with S26. The S10 controller will decide whether to keep or delegate S28.
Checklist to open S10 or TC when S20 is online:
- S20 must close and the new configuation shall be TC + S10. The first connected controller will decide whether to move to TC or S10.

Coordination
Dover flow
Traffic inbound to Wevelgem (EBKT) must be co-ordinated with Brussels at FL190 and Ostend (EBOS) at FL100.
Eastbound levels should be used for eastbound traffic via L9/UL9. FL290 is the maximum level to be allocated to London TMA outbounds. FL260 and FL280 may also be allocated to LTMA outbounds.
Northerly flow from Paris / Reims
Northbound traffic via GURLU, ALESO and RATUK is subject to the following route orientation scheme:
| GUBAR (UM733) |
DIMAL (UT420) |
RATUK (UL613) |
Inbounds to: EGKK |
Inbounds to: EGLL |
Inbounds to: EGLC London FIR Overflights |
Traffic routing via GUBAR, DIMAL and RATUK operating above FL265 is controlled by the Reims UAC, however when this station is offline Paris will provide a service instead. The agreements for Reims are also listed below.
Southerly flow to Paris
Eastbound levels only may be allocated to traffic exiting on N615, UN615, N859, UN859.
All traffic with destination LFSB should be allocated a maximum of FL330.
Northerly flow from Brest
Brest will offer inbounds via G27 at a maximum of FL190.
R24/UR24, P87/UP87, N867/UN867 and N863/UN863 are northbound routes only.
Northbound traffic via ORIST, BOLRO, GARMI and KOTEM is subject to the following route orientation scheme:
| ORIST | BOLRO | GARMI | KOTEM |
Inbounds to: EGHH |
Inbounds to: EGLL |
Inbounds to: Manchester TMA London FIR |
Inbounds to: EGGW |
All traffic below FL195 will route via ORTAC. Channel Islands departures requesting levels above FL195 will route according to the above orientation.
FL340 and below, all levels may be allocated by Brest. Eastbound levels should only be used for London TMA inbounds.
Southerly flow to Brest
Use of UN621 and UN866 is subject to a route orientation scheme inside French airspace. All traffic via QPR is to route via UN866 LORKU and traffic via ARE and DIN is to route via UN621 LELNA.
London TMA departures via LORKU will route N621/UN621 – UM195.
Eastbound levels only are to be allocated to southbound traffic exiting at LORKU and LELNA, FL210 and above.
Solent
No standing agreements exist for Bournemouth or Southampton traffic. Inbound and outbound levels should be co-ordinated individually for every aircraft, inbounds via R41 should be at the co-ordinated level by NEDUL.
Departures to the North and East will contact London TC South West Departures for initial climb.
Manston (EGMH)
Traffic arriving at Manston should be offered at a suitable level (normally this will be FL60 -the base of controlled airspace in the Dover area is FL65). Traffic should be routed towards the MTN beacon and transferred to Manston at least 10NM before Dover, or 15NM before MTN.
Manston departures to the east, south and west will be co-ordinated initially with S20.
