EGBK - are you suggesting that you mix parachuting with circuit activity, albeit on opposite sides of the circuit?
Why not on the live side of the circuit?
Take a look at the VFR approach plate for Lelystad (EHLE). This is an uncontrolled field with A/G service (at least, the Dutch equivalent) only. It's located underneath the Schiphol TMA (class A) which starts at 1500', but weather permitting there is an SRZ established so that VFR traffic can go as high as 3500'. The ATZ extends up to 1500' and within this ATZ you'll find:
- The main runway 05/23 for SEP(A) and MEP(A) with the circuit traffic to the southeast at 700', avoiding the "Larserbos" nature reserve of course
- Helicopter traffic practicing autorotation descents onto the grass between the taxiway and the main runway
- The secondary runway 05/23 grass for ultralight traffic with their own circuit to the northwest at 300'
and their own frequency
- Aerobatics practice including the Dutch Open Championships (next weekend) in an aerobatics box located just west of the UL circuit, between 700' and 3500', plus its associated holding in the NW corner of the SRZ,
and their own frequency
- A parachute drop area in the most southern corner of the ATZ (on the "live" side, just beyond the normal circuit area). Oh, and they drop from FL90, well inside the Schiphol TMA so
they won't be on the normal circuit frequency
Oh, and did I mention that EHLE has an ILS too? And various nature reserves around the site with lots of bird activity? (Protected species as well, I might add?) And a lot of windmills around over 300'? And a glider field nearby, just beyond the ATZ
non-radio or on its own frequency?
An airfield with parachute dropping at the deadside only... Boring.
My point: don't take anything for granted at an unfamiliar field. Take a look at the approach plates and give 'em a call if something is not 100% clear. Airfields rather spend 5 minutes beforehand with you explaining the way they operate, than an hour or more afterwards with you and the authorities trying to figure out what went wrong. And don't assume that when it's quiet on the radio, that the "dead side" is not busy.
