FARNBOROUGH AIRSHOW ARRANGEMENTS 2010
This years show is from 19 - 25 July with the practice week being from 12 - 18 July. We will be subject to certain restrictions during the two weeks including departure day on 26 July.
NO SOLO Navigation flights will be permitted during the (RA) Temporary. This is the same airspace when there are Royal Flights in and out of Farnborough.
All circuit training during the flying displays will be curtailed. This may also be restricted at other times, i.e. during busy periods of arrivals into and out of Blackbushe. During the Red Arrows validation and displays the ATZ will be closed to all traffic.
All movements must be booked out by telephone and NOT by RT. In the interest of flight safety, if the tower staff are busy or there is no reply please leave a voicemail or get your operations department to book you out/in.
If a voicemail is left, please state this when calling on the radio. Failure to do so may lead to your movements being delayed.
Customs/Special Branch movements may be met during these periods so, if you intend to travel abroad we would appreciate GARS/Flight plans be handed in, faxed or emailed in plenty of time to allow them to be processed.
Full Airspace details are published in AIC:M033/2010 Dated 17 June 2010.

Rejoins should be made at normal circuit height from the deadside, unless co-ordinated with Farnborough. Aircraft should keep their downwind and base legs as tight as possible.
Departures will only be allowed to the west or north initially until given approval from Farnborough. Overhead departures will not be permitted i.e. expect south coast flights to go out via Basingstoke. Example for inbounds please make sure you call Farnborough radar in plenty of time BEFORE entering their TRA(T) and expect to join from the north/northwest for Deadside joins.
IFR departures during the two weeks must be in possession of ‘after departure’ instructions from Farnborough and requested by Blackbushe ATSU during operational hours.
