Aircraft activity can be expected in the following general areas: Cape Wrath/Durness and Lairg/Loch Shin; Tain Range.
Similar exercises will be held in the Borders, Perth and Angus and other parts of the Highlands.
Out of hours flying has been authorised and noise disturbance may be experienced in

particularly low flying. All personnel involved with the exercise will be briefed on the
requirement to avoid disturbance to livestock and damage to property together with the
procedures for reporting incidents and complaints.
