Reader's Question—Danger Area Notification

Terry Rawlins writes:

Dear Sue

Danger Area Activation Notification.

The Low/medium level Military Routes have their active or non-active status notified in the FIR section of Notams.

Is the activation of individual Danger Areas (eg R49A – aka “Cognac Military Area”) notified in any way?

Normally all of the danger areas are active during weekdays and inactive during weekends and bank holidays including Romeo 49.
If you wish to know the status of an individual area the information will be provided by your FIS. If you need to have an individual clearance to cross or penetrate these areas (ie. at the prohibited height) your FIS will provide you with the neccessary military frequency ( Cognac or similar) for permission to penetrate the area.
