A brief reminder for visiting pilots:

All aircraft must do a standard overhead join at 1800 feet above aerodrome level and a full visual circuit before landing, making blind transmissions as appropriate on 130.705, as there may be people on the runway/airfield.

• Non-radio aircraft frequently operate from the aerodrome. Keep a very close look out when approaching the aerodrome and in the circuit area.
• Give way to and stay well clear of any aircraft that are performing practice displays, aerobatics or formation flights overhead the airfield. They may not be radio equipped.
• Confine all maneuvering to the mown runways and taxiways.

Only Runway 02/20 is available to visiting aircraft. Please note that all other runways may be in use by resident aircraft and must be kept clear.

• Runway 02 is a Right-Hand circuit.
• Runway 20 is a Left-Hand circuit.
• College Road (a private road), which crosses the airfield has now been removed and the full length of the runway is available (799m).
