Reported on AirTrafficManagement.net, an Evance 5kW small wind turbine and a 6kW solar array will be installed at the Santa Maria Airport, alongside a battery…
Large structure planning: aviation concerns
Importance of Aviation Sites Aerodromes serve a multitude of purposes in countries around the world. Civil airports are of course fundamental to modern travel but in addition to this, there are smaller airfields which are used locally/recreationally and military airfields that are important to national security. Any proposed development that…
North Uist turbines approved despite MOD radar concerns
