Remarks
09.00 to 20.00 Summer, 09.00 to SS in Winter.
Turbulence will be encountered on both runways when the wind has a southerly component in excess of 8 -10 knots. Low approach paths combined with excess speed is not recommended when these conditions prevail. Such approaches will place the aircraft in the worst of the turbulent air and will result in a touch down point well along the runway length.
Warnings
The airfield operates in an area of outstanding natural beauty, and to maintain the existing good relationship with the community, please observe good airmanship and avoid overflying hamlets and villages in close proximity to the airfield.
