Join overhead at 1500ft and descend on the deadside to 1000ft before joining crosswind.
Airfield elevation 197ft AMSL.
​
Runway 19RH is generally preferred due to its length and to allow you a choice of tarmac or grass. This also allows for a circuit away from noise sensitive areas.. Pilots must be above 20ft at our boundary fences as the land is used by the public and our neighbours.
​
Noise Abatement
The airfield has a number of noise sensitive areas nearby. Please see SkyDemon for noise sensitive areas including Felton, the village to the north.
​
The airfield has a weight limit of 5700kg except in an emergency.
