Good afternoon,
I have just opened droneassist to find a new EGR323 put into place between Liverpool and Manchester.
EGR do not usually affect unmanned aircraft, this is usually EGRU. I have carried out some checks and it seems this EGR323 affects drones under 250g.
Whats peoples thoughts/interpretation on this zone for C0 Class drones?
Thanks
Did you contact them to ask?
There is no class mark system in the UK.
I have emailed them, but there are no specific contact details on the EGR323 of who to contact, or phone number. Not great considering it is such a big area affected.
In terms of C0 I was referring to sub250g drones such as the Dji mini 4 Pro.
thanks
Source?
I’ve done a bit of googling for you.
EGR323 came in to effect on Thursday.
The old Manchester Low Level Route has been replaced by the new North West Transit Corridor and has been reclassified from Class D airspace to Class G airspace.
Here’s how it looks now:
And here’s how it looks when sandwiched between its Class D neighbours on either side:
I found this on the CAA site:
Class G airspace is uncontrolled, ATC does not provide separation services.
Don’t forget, this corridor overlaps with some other airspace restrictions:
Great information.
However, I have one more, can sub 250g drones operate in this area? I read that
Key Considerations for Sub-250g Drones:
• EGR323 is a restricted airspace in the UK, meaning drones cannot fly there unless specific permission is granted by the CAA or relevant authorities.
• Sub-250g drones do not have automatic exemptions from restricted or controlled airspace like EGR323.
but, on the other hand I have read :
What This Means for Drone Pilots:
• Drones can fly in Class G airspace without ATC clearance, but they must still comply with regulations like no-fly zones, altitude limits, and local restrictions.
• Drone operators should always check for other restrictions in place (e.g., military zones, airports) even within Class G airspace.
This is such a large area that is covered.
Is that a Google ai suggestion or from an actual source ?
Hi @AVIDronesuk, it looks as though you’re quite new here 
Why not nip over to the Introductions page, and say hello properly and tell us a bit about yourself. 
Where did you read that? 
I’m not seeing anything in that Class G airspace that would prevent a drone (of any weight) from flying there.
As above, be mindful of the other restrictions that fall within the same boundary.
Please let us know what Altitude Angel reply back with?
Thanks, I just have done that
I have been looking at the following link. I am getting mixed responses whether drone flight is allowed or not.
From where, not from here? what did AA say
Stinks of ChatGPT to me
Not from here no, but response yet from AA or CAA help desk.
I will feedback once I find anything @PingSpike.
The weather has not been great lately, but generally always have flown within this red zone in Warrington, As work nearby.
Commercial planes heading to LPL airport do come in low on the final approach, So can understand why this has been changed to be honest.
Excellent service 
Changed to what?
Thats why we have FRZ’s
Changed from Class D to Class G
Please do, it still looks as irrelevant to drones as it’s Class D airspace predecessor was on Wednesday.
I’d be interested to hear if CAA or Altitude Angel feel differently 
Only affects helicopters: The “EGR” specified area primarily concerns restrictions for single-engine helicopters, not drones or other small unmanned aircraft.
I have found this -
The Manchester Low Level Route (MLLR) will be replaced by the North West Transit Corridor (NWTC). Below is a summary of the key changes.
Manchester Low Level Route (MLLR) Removal 
The MLLR will cease to exist at 0001 hours on 20th February 2025.
It will be replaced by the North West Transit Corridor (NWTC).
Introduction of Restricted Area EGR323 NWTC 
The NWTC will provide Class G airspace up to 1500 FT AMSL.
Above 1500 FT AMSL, the airspace remains Class D and is renamed Manchester Control Area 6 (CTA-6) (extending up to 3500 FT AMSL).
Flight Restrictions & Exemptions 
Prohibited below 1500 FT AMSL unless specific conditions are met:
Max 140 KTS indicated airspeed
Min 5 KM in-flight visibility
Max Certified Take-Off Mass 40,000 KG
Use of Manchester or Liverpool QNH
Exemptions for emergency services, including:
Police Air Support
Emergency Medical Services
The King’s Helicopter Flight
Maritime & Coastguard Agency (SAR only)
Air Traffic Control & Monitoring 
ATC clearance is not required within EGR323 if the above conditions are met.
Aircraft unable to meet conditions can apply for an exemption (referencing UK AIP ENR 5.1).
Frequency monitoring is recommended but not mandatory:
Manchester FMC 7366 (Channel 118.580)
Liverpool FMC 5060 (Channel 119.855)
Updated VFR Charts 
New airspace classifications will be reflected on 1:500,000 and 1:250,000 VFR charts.
I already told you all that and I gave you the link to the CAA explanation.
