Description

London Area Control, abbreviated to AC, provides an area service in the London FIR. The airspace is divided into 5 sectors, and the low-level airspace around the London and Manchester TMAs are delegated to London TC and Manchester ACC respectively.

London AC has a variety of sectors, some high level only and some starting at the base of controlled airspace. The primary function of the ACC is to provide a service for aircraft en-route.
