I stand to be corrected, but isn't it the rule that only a MATZ, not an ATZ should be considered inactive outside published hours?

I note that, although Woodvale has ATZ operating hours published as 0800-1800 local, the entry in the BINA ERS also states "Light aircraft activity HJ (sunrise to sunset) ouside of A/D hours". Also that the aerodrome is active "H24 outside published hours for police helicopter activity, up to 1000ft." Further that there is an "A/G Stn 'Aeroclub' on 123.5".....

So anyone approaching Woodvale outside the period 0800-1800 local should expect police helicopter and/or light aircraft activity- it would be fairly sensible to call on 123.5 to confirm whether there was any activity going on at the time, one would have thought?
