Edinburgh Visit for Scottish Aero Club

Several members of the Scottish Aero Club visited the new control tower at Edinburgh Airport earlier this year, with the final trip taking place on 12 April. Tower staff gave guided tours of the glass-walled visual control room at the top of the building, as well as the approach controllers' work station on ground level.

Planning for the new tower began in 1998 and it became operational in November last year. Fast becoming a local landmark, the tower is almost 60 metres tall and was designed to make an architectural statement.

NATS is planning to host an evening lecture at the Aero Club later this year to advise pilots on infringements into controlled airspace.
