Now please hold back before people get heated here..
What i mean is PPR at some airfields is strict and others are shocked that you bothered to call..
Question is: do you actually bother or just turn up and request airfield information and lay her down anyway?
I understand that at some airfields you would be stupid not to and others we all know couldnt care less.
For my solo qxc i didnt call anyone or is it something my instructor would have done?
If you call and tell `em you are intending to turn up and you don`t turn up - then some bright spark might call an "uncertainty" and get the ball rolling for you to be rescued from being entangled in a tree whilst bleeding to death.
Some time ago a light aircraft went down in a forest somewhere in dear old England and was not found for several months - just a thought. In some places - not filing PPR will put you in deep s--t and you may not get permission to land.
Also, whilst flying out to an airfield out in the bundhu - if you don`t PPR and they decide to go out and do the week`s shopping and you prang on landing - as it was strictly PPR only, then you have only yourself to blame when there is no one there to sort it all out for you - police, fire, ambulance, that sort of thing.
