1  Airport Regulations

  1. Aerodrome is not available to aircraft unable to communicate by radio.

  2. No solo flying training for the purpose of the grant of a licence shall take place when the visibility at the aerodrome is less than 8 KM or the cloud base is less than 2500 FT above aerodrome level.

2  Ground Movement

  1. The Northern Taxiway is limited to aircraft with a wing span no greater than 12.8 M.

  2. Aircraft parking is on grass apron in summer season.

  3. Power checks:

    1. Rwy 22 – Alpha Hold (Avoid pointing propwash onto North Apron).

    2. Rwy 04 – Delta Hold.

  2. The fins of aircraft parked on the Southern Apron may infringe the aerodrome transitional area.

  3. Trees infringe the transitional surface by 16 M, east-southeast of the aerodrome:

    1. Single oak tree located 130 M south east of the centreline, 400 M from the north eastern end of the runway, 23 M tall;

    2. Row of poplars located 120 M south east of the centreline, 345 M from the south western end of the runway, 34 M tall.

  4. Runway 04 Procedure – Aircraft holding on the far end turning pad are to hold at marker board Delta. Landing aircraft are to note that any aircraft holding at Delta will be abeam the undershoot, separated by 70 M from the displaced threshold.

5  Helicopter Operations

  1. Light aircraft are warned of the possible effect of wake turbulence by preceding helicopters on approach or departure. Light aircraft should also be aware of the possible effect of rotor downwash generated by large helicopters operating on the aerodrome, including the home based Air Ambulance EC145 Helicopter which may lift at short notice. Both Civil and Military Helicopter training takes place at the airfield, fields to the east and west of the runway are often used for hover practice.
