Low Flying Area 04

LFA 4

LFA 4

LFA 4 is located in England, south of the west Midlands. It covers Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, south Shropshire, southwest Warwickshire and west Oxfordshire. RAF Brize Norton is the only major flying station in the area. Other service establishments within the LFA include RAF Innsworth, RAF Weston on the Green and the Army site at Hereford.

As there is only one major flying station in LFA 4 the area is used predominantly by aircraft transiting elsewhere, particularly fixed wing aircraft en route to and from LFA 7 (Wales) and LFA 2 (the West Country).

Usable area: 8,264 km2 (3,191 sq mls). This represents 4.2% of the total usable area of the UK Low Flying System.
