Beware 'turning overhead' when there's no reply on the MATZ frequency eg weekends (when the MATZ doesn't exist anyway) as many RAF airfields have winch launched gliding clubs and often their cable launch authority extends above the ATZ eg Odiham. The cable launch hazard height ie distance above A/D elevation not altitude amsl is marked on all good quality half and quarter mils.
