HC Deb 17 January 1990 vol 165 c297W
Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether there are any plans to change the current restrictions on the weight of civil aircraft using RAF Finningley.

Mr. Neubert

There are no specific weight restrictions on civil aircraft wishing to use RAF Finningley, providing they come within the pavement load classification group of the runway and aircraft manoeuvring areas. The strength of these surfaces permits the operation of most types of modern aircraft.

Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether there are any plans to change the flight paths of(a) military and (b)civil aircraft (i) taking off or (ii) landing at RAF Finningley.

Mr. Neubert

No.
