**Temporary cancellation of MCTR Kbely and activation of ATZ Letňany: from August 8 to September 4, 2024**
In the period from 08 August 24 0000 UTC to 04 September 24 2359 UTC, the Kbely Military Airport (LKKB) will be closed due to the repair of the energy of the air traffic services station.
During this period, the MAPP Kbely and MTWR Kbely stations will also be temporarily out of service. In this period, the MTMA Kbely and MCTR Kbely are deactivated and the airspace class changes from “D” to “G” and “E” and ATZ Letňany is temporarily established (see also VFR SUP 13/24 – AD LKLT).
The biggest operational change is the SOUTHERN TRAFFIC PATHERN, due to the internal affairs of the company ANS of Czech Republic by CTR Praha Ruzyně with the activation of the TRAGA 1N space. Therefore, the TRAGA1N area located in the CTR LKPR cannot be activated and all traffic goes through the base of the Kbely airport, outside the villages of Satalice and Kbely.
The arrangement of air traffic during the deactivation of the LKKB is chosen so that, apart from the directions of the flight circuit, it has as little impact as possible on the pilots’ habits experienced over the years.
