To clarify the purpose of these Notam's. Aeronautical information regarding Fairford is printed in various Flight Planning Documents and when a change occurs, or is planned, a Notam is issued regardless of whether activity is expected or not. The fact that an exercise is coming up is just a co-incidence.
The Fairford Tacan isn't only used by Fairford inbounds/outbounds - it can also be used by aircraft, not inbound to Fairford, as an en-route navaid and when it goes out of service aviators and ATC'ers need to know about it - again, just because an exercise is coming up has nothing to do with it.

Hope that helps,
Graham

Sorry Graham. I need to pay attention more.

Flightcheck 85 inbound to fairford for multiple approaches

And the Notam for the Flight Checker, for what it's worth.

U0911/12 - RWY 09/27 OPEN FOR FLIGHT CHECK OPERATIONS ONLY. 22 MAR 11:00 2012 UNTIL 22 MAR 16:00 2012. CREATED: 22 MAR 10:08 2012

Chalenger noted just after 12 Noon overflew Carterton , any idea of reg , see to cross Brize Norton at least 4 times at low level .High gloss grey c/s , could not read reg as it went directly over my head each time.

It's N85, a Challenger 601

Thank You Sir .

ahhhh.... this saves me posting a new thread, i thought i just see the flight checker fly past the back of my work (north swindon)

Is there likely to be any movements tomorrow?

I imagine the activity will begin on the 27th going on the information posted in various places.

The original Notam in the first post has now been taken down.
