RAF Shawbury is 4.5 NM south-east with identical runway headings and can be mistaken for Sleap. During RAF Shawbury’s published MATZ operating hours Mon-Fri 0845-1700 (0745-1600); pilots should initially contact Shawbury Zone (133.155). Shawbury’s ATZ is operational Mon-Sun H24 and must be avoided. RAF Shawbury provides an excellent Flight Information Service.
An east-west entry and exit lane for helicopters from RAF Shawbury sits on the southern edge of Sleap’s ATZ boundary at 1000 FT to 1500 FT. This should be avoided when possible.
KEEP CLEAR AREA: Aircraft should not be left on the fuel bay.
Not applicable.
Gliders
At Sleap, aero-tow gliding may be operational at any time.
At RAF Shawbury, during weekends and bank holidays, aero-tow gliding is operational.
Aeromodels
Remote controlled model aircraft may be operating at Sleap up to 400 FT QFE on the western end of disused Runway 28.
Military Helicopters
Aircraft should avoid RAF Shawbury’s military helicopter entry and exit lane that runs east-west close to the south boundary of the Sleap ATZ at 1000 FT to 1500 FT QFE. Military helicopters using the lane do not monitor Sleap’s A/G radio frequency.
Military helicopter training may occur at Sleap. Military helicopters will always operate to the WEST of the active runway. Sufficient clearance of 75 M is to be given to landing and departing civil aircraft.
CAA Low Flying Display Practice Authorisation
The airfield operator holds an aerobatic and low flying exemption from the CAA permitting practice display flying below 500 FT QFE. Pilots of arriving and departing traffic will be informed by Sleap Air/Ground radio when practices are taking place. These flights will normally last only for a short duration and will be conducted only when prevailing traffic conditions suit.
Wake Turbulence
Sleap is often used by large and heavy Military Helicopters and produce Wake Turbulence. The wake turbulence requirements for light aircraft is an absolute minimum of a 4 mile separation. The A/G team will advise if there is large Military traffic in the circuit. If operating a large helicopter, please be mindful of wake in the vicinity of light aircraft.
Out Of Hours Airfield Use
Aircraft based at Sleap operate outside of published airfield operating hours, or by visitors on request.
Helicopter Arrival
Helicopters inbound to Sleap can join on direct track at 600 FT QFE, without crossing the active runway. Give way to fixed wing traffic on finals and military helicopter traffic.
Alternatively, helicopters may join the fixed-wing circuit.
Helicopters requiring fuel should liaise with the ops staff regarding best parking and shut down location. Fuel hoses are 20 M (60 FT) long, so there is no need to park too close to the pump.
Helicopters parking should consider downwash and tail rotor safety, clear of fixed-wing aircraft and access to taxiways and grass aprons.
Rotors running refuels on request via 01939-232882, Ext 6.
For all helicopter procedures visit www.shropshireaeroclub.com/heli.
Helicopter Departure
Departure should be at 600 FT QFE on track until 2 NM radius away from Sleap, or departing in accordance with the active runway and fixed-wing circuit.
Not applicable.
Shropshire Aero Club operates a designated training organisation for ab-initio flying training, night ratings and aerobatics. There is an approved training organisation for commercial pilot’s licences, multi engine piston and instrument rating training.
Adjust circuit to avoid over flying local villages and towns, particularly Wem, Clive, Loppington, Noneley, Burlton and Ruewood.
On departure from Runway 36 turn right 10 degrees to avoid houses in Noneley village.
PPR is required by phone or online (shropshireaeroclub.com/fly-in).
When RAF Shawbury is operating, contact Shawbury Zone (133.155) before contacting Sleap. Once within visual with the airfield, or Shawbury Zone advises, contact Sleap Radio for airfield data and traffic information. Aircraft inbound to Sleap will normally be requested by Shawbury Zone to fly not below 2500 FT QNH to keep above busy helicopter traffic.
It is advised to join from the south via the Montford Bridge (Disused AD) VRP, or from the north via the Ellesmere Lake VRP.
Join the circuits from the overhead where possible, remaining inside the ATZ.
When display flying practice or aerobatics is operational, arriving traffic must not fly overhead the airfield within a 2 NM radius. Instead, arriving aircraft should join the circuit downwind at 1000 FT QFE.
Gyroplane pilots are required to read the specific gyro procedures before their arrival. For more details, please visit www.shropshireaeroclub.com/fly-in or call 01939-232882, extension 1.
When RAF Shawbury is operating, aircraft should contact Shawbury Zone on 133.155 after leaving Sleap’s ATZ.
Aircraft must always avoid RAF Shawbury’s ATZ unless they are in two-way communication and have been given clearance by Shawbury Zone (133.155).
Circuit height is 1000 FT QFE for fixed-wing powered aircraft.
Circuit height is 800 FT QFE for gyrocopters and flown inside of fixed-wing circuit.
Civil helicopters should fly at 600 FT QFE within Sleap’s ATZ, or join the fixed-wing circuit.
Monday to Friday, all circuits flown by fixed-wing powered aircraft shall be EAST of the airfield meaning left hand on Runways 18 and 23 and right hand on Runways 36 and 05.
On Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays, the direction flown by fixed-wing powered and gyrocopter aircraft shall be left hand circuit.
On Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays, gliders shall fly right hand circuit.
