If you guys over the water knew Sandown, and appreciated that we have had the wettest winter since 1766, you would understand the logic of calling Sandown first to ascertain the state of the grass and the taxiways from someone on the ground there. The last thing anyone wants is an aircraft ploughing a furrow in the runway and/or nosing over. Once the surface has hardened, I am sure the PPR requirement will be gone.
