Interpreting the forecast

 

If the wind is from the:


        South East    excellent  as it is directly down the strip landing from left to

                             right, parallel to the pits

        South            tricky, you need to be an experienced pilot

        South West   almost impossible to fly if the speed exceeds 5 kph, at right

                             angles to the pits, in fact don't bother coming

        East              good but use the alternate strip

        North East    same as the south west but directly into the pits

        North            much the same as from the south

        North West  Ok but the approach is difficult as the approach is a tighter turn

                            to stay inside the fence boundary from the road end of the

                            strip

        West             Ok, roughly the same as North West approach but using the

                             alternate strip


Please note extreme care needs to be taken when landing into the wind coming from the NORTH WEST, WEST and SOUTH WEST.

  

Very important NO flying is permitted out of bounds at any time. Below are our rules in regards to boundaries:
