What is the altitude range for aircraft controlled by ScACC?

The correct altitude range for aircraft controlled by the Scottish Area Control Centre (ScACC) is from 2,500 ft to 66,000 ft. This range is significant because it encompasses various flight levels used by commercial and general aviation aircraft, ensuring efficient management of both lower and higher altitude traffic within the airspace.

ScACC is responsible for the safe and orderly flow of air traffic in its area of jurisdiction, which includes higher altitude operations where the majority of airline traffic occurs, as well as lower altitude operations, especially for departures and arrivals. By managing aircraft between 2,500 ft and 66,000 ft, ScACC can effectively coordinate with adjacent air traffic control units, facilitating smooth transitions for aircraft entering and exiting its airspace. This comprehensive altitude range allows for the handling of diverse flight operations, from low-level general aviation flights to high-altitude commercial airliners.
