Now there is a question Lightning boy! I have been asked this question many times. There used to be Heli instruction at EGFF but after 09/11 the management at EGFF decided to interprate a CAA ruling regarding parrallel runways and the necessity to have over 750 meters clear each side of the runways now we all know that there in only one runway at EGFF being 30/12 however once the helicopter is in flight( Hovering) they are taking that as a parrallel runway! rather daft I know as we used to enjoy instructing at EGFF and it was considerably more convienient for the students up that end of the M4. sayig that Swansea is a superb place to fly the scenary is outstanding and of course it is far quieter on the radio.
