Land’s End and St.Mary’s ATC share the responsibility for the corridor and co-ordinate the traffic between one another.
The upper limit of the corridor is 4000ft. If you prefer to make your crossing above this, you may be transferred to either Culdrose or Newquay for a radar service.
The Corridor can be a busy piece of airspace. It is not Controlled Airspace but we try to maintain a safe combination of vertical and horizontal separation between known aircraft within it.
Commercial fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters are allocated levels from 500ft to 3500ft amsl.
The radio transfer point between Lands End and St.Mary’s is:
- VOR/DME – 10 DME from the LND VOR/DME
- GPS – 18nm from St. Mary’s
- Visual Reference – Abeam Wolf Rock lighthouse on the S boundary
The eastern Corridor boundary runs from St.Ives to Penzance – please call Land’s End ATC (01736 788944) before entering.
