Duxford Safety Bonus Day 12th April 2008

There's a separate thread giving details of the Duxford Bonus Days for 2008 (heavily discounted landing and entry fees at Europe's premier aviation museum), see here:
http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthr...97#post3922397


On 12th April, to kick-off the flying season, we will have an informal Safety Bonus Day:

• Steve McKie of NATS “Airspace Infringements” He will show some of the thought-provoking radar replays of controlled airspace infringements.
• Farnborough ATC will explain how the London LARS works, timed to coincide with the extension to the north – just for once you can talk to a controller face to face.
• Irv Lee, who runs the ‘Fly on Track’ website, will be giving some of his popular and easy-to-understand weather tips.
• David Cockburn of CAA will explain their friendly policy towards use of GPS – safely.
• AOPA will introduce their Wings Award scheme for developing PPLs/NPPLs

The day won’t be the usual format of hours of formal presentations. Instead, arrive and leave when you like and while you’re here chat in small groups to the professionals mentioned above. David Cockburn will give his presentation at 12.00 and 14.30, and will be informally available throughout the day. There’s no special charge, just the normal Bonus Day discounted landing and discounted museum admission. On 12th April only, if the weather is poor, or if you can’t fly in, you can come in by car and benefit from the discounted museum admission fee of £7 – but you must pre-book.

Further information about the Bonus Days and information for fly-in visitors can be found on the web site http://duxford.iwm.org.uk/ (soon to be updated for 2008).

The airfield team look forward to hearing from you (call for PPR and briefing or to arrive by car 01223 833376) and seeing you on the day.

Alan.
