Circling aircraft over Gatwick
I have a question, but it isn't as dumb as the title suggests!
3 or 4 times in the last few months, i've noticed light singles (C152's and PA28's) doing circles a few thousand feet over Crawley (Just south of Gatwick)
Does anybody know what this is about? Although the zone around LGW is class D airspace, I can't imagine them allowing people to carry out what looks like basic PPL training manouvers so close to the airport. I have flown from Redhill and Shoreham, and have always gone out over Edenbridge or Eastbourne to do this kind of thing
Can anybody shine any light on this?
BTW, there's one out there now, 17:00, Sunday 1st
