50 thou aviation overlay question

[kintyred]

I noticed an ‘N’ in a circle - the same type of symbol as, for example ‘LA’, denoting a light aircraft strip. The ‘N’ was close a body of water (Frensham Pond near Farnham). Any idea what it denotes?

N udist area
N uclear submarines only
N o helicopters
N o idea

I’m sure some cartographer who is more sensible and less bored than me will be along soon……😹

Secret Russian base? Z on its side? Cannot see anything here

Newts? Endangered species, no low flying area?

[meleagertoo]

There is a 50thou aviation overlay series????

New one on me!

But if there is then equally there is also a symbols decode.

I’m really sorry that my fellow professional aviators where as equally helpful……😾

Sure it wasn't an M?

Pretty sure that's Wishanger Farm Strip. An M seems very likely

Just to be helpful, chart legends can be found at the link below (for MIL AIP, civil equivelents are available). Can't find a N in a circle though, sure it's not a M?

p.s. after a bit of googling, it appears that there's a heliport at Frensham Pond Hotel (Frensham Great Pond) so it's probably a H.

[gipsymagpie]

Nope it's an H! I just checked it. I'll admit a quick inspection makes you think it's an N but it's an H. For hotel obviously

[BEagle]

Nope - 'H' in a circle denotes a helicopter landing site. Which can be at an hotel.

As it turns out: Nearest Specsavers, probably.
I guess that's another dead thread...

I read it like that at first and then I realised that the poster meant that the helipad was obviously for the hotel.

Yes sorry, that's what I meant.

Close the thread moderators, nothing more to see here....

I don't know, you try to be helpful.... If you'd bothered to check the legend it's pretty obvious what H is. You can lead a horse to water...

no, I think you missed the point. It's an H for a helipad for the hotel....

Frensham Pond Hotel & Spa

I'm pretty sure it's actually for helicopters...

I think you'll find we are in violent agreement. Don't understand what your point is

Humour, old chap. The helipad may be AT the hotel, but it's FOR helicopters.
