No opposition to permanent restriction area over Oslo

(OSLO, Norway) The major Norwegian aviation associations give their joint blessing to a proposed permanent restriction area over downtown Oslo.

The aviation authorities claim this regulation will reduce the consequences of an engine failure or a mid air over the capital city. In a joint hearing document, NAK/NLF, EAA Norway, and AOPA Norway, are expressing no major disagreement with the proposition.

The city of Oslo wants to double the proposed one NM size of the restricted area. This might be the beginning of the end of single engine traffic over Oslo. This development might not be remarkable, given the general security focus in these times. But the organizations giving their unconditional blessing are a bit more surprising?

For some reason, the hearing document sent April 27th is still not mentioned on any of the organizations’ web sites six weeks later… Feel free to download it here!
