First land away
Hi Everyone
I'm going to be doing my first land away next weekend, will be flying Stapleford - Lydd and back with my instructor. Really looking forward to it and want to be as prepared as possible. There's one thing that I'm unsure about which is what the procedure will be for exiting the Lydd circuit on the return trip.
The Lydd AIP states
If runway 21 is the active then turn left/right at 500ft (or end of upwind leg). Keeping clear of power station and danger areas.
If runway 03 is the active then turn left/right at 500ft (or end of upwind leg).
But what happens then...? On the return journey I want to fly north towards Ashford.
How do you exit the circuit?
Do you climb to and maintain circuit altitude 1000ft until zone boundary?
Do you request an altitude to fly to?
I'm sure there's an easy answer and maybe it just depends on what you request from ATC before take-off.
Any help or other advice for the first land away would be great.
Cheers
Rob
