These are the aims for managing local flood risk. The objectives have been grouped in three main ways: by reducing risk, avoiding increasing risk or accepting risk by maintaining current levels of management. Objectives Many organisations, such as Scottish Water and energy companies, actively maintain and manage their own assets including their risk from flooding. Where known, these actions are described here. Scottish Natural Heritage and Historic Environment Scotland work with site owners to manage flooding where appropriate at designated environmental and/or cultural heritage sites.

  • Chapter 7: Aviation and Telecommunications

    Chapter 7: Aviation and Telecommunications

    Viking Wind Farm Chapter 7 Section 36 Variation Application – EIA Report Aviation and Telecommunications 7. AVIATION AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS Executive Summary The ES and ES Addendum determined that the consented Viking Wind Farm would have no significant effects on existing telecommunications and microwave links following the application of mitigation measures. The same mitigation measures would be implemented for the proposed varied development, which will ensure no significant effects on existing telecommunications and microwave links. On this basis there is no difference in the effects associated with the consented Viking Wind Farm and the proposed varied development. The Applicant engaged in detailed consultation with Scatsta Airport owners, licensee and operators as part of the development of the consented Viking Wind Farm layout regarding mitigation for the potential significant effects on aviation operations at the airfield. Following consultation and through the determination of the relevant section 36 consent, turbines are no longer proposed for the Delting quadrant. As a result, the consented Viking Wind Farm, subject to the compliance with relevant conditions of the consent, would have no significant effect on operations at Scatsta Airport. The proposed varied development would introduce an additional requirement for aviation lighting. Current regulations1 requires ‘en-route obstacles’ taller than 150 m to be provided with aviation lighting scheme. The Applicant would seek to agree suitable lighting scheme with the planning authority in consultation with the Scatsta Airport Operator and the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) as part of agreeing an Aviation Mitigation Scheme2. On the basis that the proposed varied development would also comply with the pre-commencement condition3, there would be no significant effects on aviation operations, and there would be no difference between the consented Viking Wind Farm and the proposed varied development.

    Tingwall Aerodrome Manual of Flight Information Services MAFIS

    Tingwall Aerodrome Manual of Flight Information Services MAFIS Issue 12 Issue date 01 January 2021 MANUAL of FLIGHT INFORMATION SERVICE Part 1 Page 1 Document Administration Preface The Tingwall Airport Manual of Flight Information Service (MAFIS) provides information, procedures and guidance primarily related to Tingwall Airport. The Flight Information Service is provided in accordance with CAP 670, CAP 1032, CAP 797 and CAP 774. The MAFIS is to be used in conjunction with CAP 797. Details of MAFIS amendment procedures are contained in the following pages of Section 1. AFISOs may, in the interest of safety and when circumstances dictate, depart from MAFIS procedures. Any such actions, together with the reasons are to be recorded in the Watch Log. The AFIS service at Tingwall Airport is primarily to provide an ATS to the Base Operator’s scheduled aircraft and other visiting / transiting aircraft during the operational hours of the airport. There is also a commitment to provide a service to ambulance and SAR aircraft operating outside these hours. The AFIS and AFISOs should provide information to all aircraft wishing to participate in the AFIS service in the AFISOs area of responsibility. This will assist all pilots in the safe conduct of flight. AFISOs at Tingwall Airport are only permitted to provide a Basic Flight Information Service. As a general principle and in the interest of sound document management, the duplication of local information and procedures is avoided. Information contained in the Tingwall Airport Aerodrome Manual will be cross-referenced in the MAFIS. Any section of this document which is found to be at variation to the contents of CAP 797 must be brought to the immediate attention of the Aerodrome Manager and Accountable Manager.
