In the middle of my home office tidying exercise today I stumbled across some material that would have been sent to all pilots about 5 years ago.
I quote these words of wisdom to VFR pilots:
"VFR aircraft should avoid Aerodromes, Navaids, Instrument Approaches and Holding patterns".
VFR aircraft should avoid aerodromes? Now there's a novel approach!
"Assure that you are aware of the IFR Instrument and GPS approach paths and remain clear as far as you can .... charts are available on the Airservices Website".
So there you go! I guess that pretty much clears it all up, huh? The onus would appear to be on VFR pilots to keep the **** outta the way!
