-Furthermore, on occasions, the base of the N560 airway is temporarily lowered at its southern end where it joins the TMA. The airway is not displayed on the CAA 1:500,000 chart South of the ERSON reporting point as its base is at FL195. When these occasional changes are notified by NOTAM, the base(s) in the southern section can be temporarily lowered by a significant amount – down to FL55 or 5500 feet in parts.+Furthermore, on occasions, the base of the MORAY CTA airway is temporarily lowered at its southern end where it joins the TMA.
