Set up with advice on how to avoid airspace infringements a few years but sadly abandoned, the FlyonTrack website has fresh new management. 🙂 Remember the guides on airspace such the the Manchester low-level router (LLR) complete with satellite photos? Well it’s back and Irv Lee, a very capable flight instructor who knows a lot about the “system”, is doing the website.
With feedback, the CAA in conjunction with GASCO/flyontrack have produced a handy kneeboard insert. See the CAA press release here
With increasing numbers of Airspace and TRA busts, e.g. Red Arrows, Old Warden etc, the above project should welcomely get some awareness back into the GA/private flying community!

Have you looked at http://fly.dsc.net ?
The chap who has done this is a very clever in two regards. 1. He is a good programmer. 2. He has been able to get his hands on all the relevant aeronautical and meteorological data, which as I understnad, has been a bureaucratic stumbling block in the past. “Not for approved use” etc but if it helps a few more people by being more efficient, i.e. fast and user-friendly, then so be it in my book.
For example, I can all today’s TRAs in one click.

If the Notam download programmes such as Notampro and Notamplot would include all the Notams life would be far easier. According to these Shoreham and Sywell didnt have shows this year.’
