Chatteris Aerodrome Plate
Hi all,
Does anyone know if it is possibnle to get the Chatteris aerodrome plate online anywhere? I have had a look in the specific aerodrome section in the AIP @ http://www.ais.org.uk/aes/pubs/aip/html/aipad2.htm but can't find it.
I know it's in the Pooley's guide but i haven't got a copy of that at home.
Can anyone help?
cheers
Ed

Not a plate per se, but you might find this useful:

Chatteris is my home airfield - loads of runways, but do listen out for the parachutes; hold off to the east if they are jumping, until you hear 'all canopies down'.

Guess what? If it's not a licensed airfield, then you won't find it in the AIP! Better try http://www.ukga.com there might be something there - at least a PPR phone no. where they'll tell you all you need to know.

Hi Snapper,
Thanks for the info. The reason i ask is that i think in Pooley's guide it says that flight overhead the airfield should not be made at any time.

Brooklands
The reason for no overhead joins is the parachuting activity. It's pretty much constant, 7 days a week, if the wx is good enough. You wouldn't want to join overhead and find a pair of size 9 boots going past the window...
Have a read of the joining info on the website link I posted earlier. If you need any more, PM me.

Yes, i understand that there is intense parachuting activity there. I'll plan to miss the airfield to the south. Probably make Chatteris village/town a waypoint.

Very amusing - why mow ten runways when you could just have a 'proper' all-over grass aerodrome, land-able in any direction, just like... what was the place... chap who had a hangar at Staverton, then moved to his own field... Somebody Norman, perhaps? Oh crikey, the Alzheimers is settinig in.
What was I saying?
