DocLeaf, not much to add to the good advice already given
- but check out Barton's website at
www.lancsaeroclub.co.uk for some pretty comprehensive information.
A quick question back to you....
... Where are you flying from? Are you used to grass airfields with relatively short runways?
I ask, not to put you off in any way, 'cos IMHO Barton's a great place to visit.
But just to make sure you are happy with landing on a grass field with A/G radio only. Yes, I know everyone should be capable of it, but some ppruners have indicated that they've never landed at these places on their training courses.
...evidence (though bad weather had a lot to do with it) the Grumman that overran into the hedge back in September.
