Hi! Richard,
I was all set to walk out the house this morning when I realised my Skyforce Tracker 111C card was away for update !
So whether it is acceptable to fly depending on the GPS or not unfortunately I won't be attending your DOTH. Sorry.
However Duncan is miffed as to why there are never weekend DOTHS.
So I will call one for Saturday 5th May at Elstree(EGTR)Particularly because there’s a good Cafe and also a Pooley’s shop there and I need to update some charts for the Europa tour to North Baltic’s, Finland and the North Cape commencing 31st May !
However landing instructions for Elstree are quite unusual.
MUST HAVE PPR before coming to the DOTH. Tel.0208 953 7480 .
Look carefully at Pooley’s page and make sure you understand the approach and departure. It’s a long four mile run each way and you will need to mix with ALL other types of aircraft and be considerate towards their speeds too and understand the noise abatement rules.
Please remember a go around means a trip out to the M25 following the noise abatement rules and rejoining back at the 4 miles. It takes about 15 minutes. NO CIRCUITS PERMITTED. And the Southern Boundary is almost on the Heathrow TMA and runway 08 has quite a down slope.
Watch out for masts in the locality especially whilst keeping under London TMA.
Elstree telephone number is 0208 8953 7480, fuel is available 100LL and Jet A1 only.
Landing fees for a Europa are £10.00..... Pooley’s shop is open 10am through 4pm.(Saturdays)
All aircraft are to have two way radio contact with Elstree, ( 122.40 ) call before the 4 mile. Most base aircraft use Lee valley lakes or BNN the FISO will provide you with details of traffic and joining instructions.
Unfortunately Sunday looks to be the better day but Pooley’s are only open on Saturday.
However I will publish a final check for a “go” or “no go” at 0700 on Saturday morning then as ever it is up to the PIC to make their final decision.
Regards to all.
