Right to land? I read the title and thought - not on my strip you don't. But on 'public airfields? The situation is a little different and certainly during notified hours I do wonder about the whole PPR by phone, 'special briefing' thing.

What is so complicated? Tour France (or most other European countires) and you'll find airfields that integrate parachuting, aerobatics, the military and scheduled carriers with GA. No PPR beyond asking for instructions on the radio.

Try to land at places like Humberside and if you're within 10 minutes of a scheduled flight it becomes a major emergency. If one of our local MATZ has an air experience flight within it they 'refuse' crossing permission!

If you can't see WW2 heavy metal swooping through a circuit and cannot hear the radio then probably you should n't be flying. I suspect the special instructions are very simple (well they should be...) as for having to hold a couple of miles away? Is this hard?
