With a theme of ‘Airspace for Air Sports’, the objective of the conference

 

is to bring European sporting and recreational aviators together with

 

EUROCONTROL Air Traffic Management specialists who are working on airspace,

 

communications, navigation and surveillance issues. The Conference will see

 

EAS providing overviews of private powered flying, gliding, hang/para

 

gliding, microlight, and ballooning activities, with their attendant need

 

for airspace. EUROCONTROL will provide Air Traffic Management information

 

that is likely to affect sporting & recreational flying activities in the

 

future. The agenda is attached.

 

The Conference will start at 9.30 and close at 17.00. More details and

 

registration facilitiy can be found on
