In February the CAA released its first update to Civil Aviation Publication (CAP) 764 CAA Policy and Guidelines on Wind Turbines.
Originally released in 2006 to provide guidance on the wind farm radar issue, the CAA have replaced the original method for assessing impact on primary radars with a simplified radar line of sight methodology. For turbines within line of sigh, it recommends more detailed assessment.
We will continue to offer such assessments using the original methodology within the first edition of CAP 764. Analysis can be ordered and run online via a Radar Detectability Assessment.
