NATS is proposing to create an ATS route from DET VOR to LYD VOR to replace the final segment of the Stansted LYD 6R/5S Standard Instrument Departures route (SIDs) in order to allow the removal of these SIDs. The DET 1R/1S SIDs (which follow exactly the same track as far as DET) would be used instead.

This is a technical flight planning change and will not have any impact on aircraft tracks over the ground or vertical profile. The change is necessary in order to remove the dependency on the LYD DVOR to facilitate its eventual removal and decommissioning.

Full consultation details are available on the CAA’s dedicated Airspace Change Portal.
