Errol is listed in the AIP as well as depicted on charts.

Prior to the aircraft taking off for the first lift of the day the following are informed of max alt and when we will finish
(which is 1800 local at the latest)
Scottish
Leuchars
Dundee
Perth
After jumping has finished they are called again and infromed that we are complete for the day.

On lifting the pilot calls Dundee with the flights details ie dropping hieght and remains on Dundees freq
2 mins prior to drop the pilot informs Dundee and gets clearance from the DZ on the 129.90. ( the pilot monitors 2 radios at all times)
After drop he calls Dundee that the drop is complete and descending.
Pilot also calls Dundee on short finals to Errol.

So if your on Dundee freq you,ll here us and know whats going on. Dundee will also tell you if our aircraft is on the ground and were not jumping.

Moreoil: On reading your last post. i hope that were ever you fly you never leave the circut. Thats a pretty s**t atitude for any pilot.
Heres something for you to ponder. If you fly through and active DZ and a parachutist hits you who do you think will be the one that the CAA take to court. Thats if they live of course.
