ILS Plate for Benson

[PUFL]

Hello,

Does anyone know where I can get hold of an ILS (rwy19) plate for Benson.

I am after a source where I can get the info over and over rather than a one-off copy.


Thanks in advance.

Does it really change that often?

You could always buy a Jepp subscription

Try No 1 AIDU at RAF Northolt or alternatively AERAD 'cos they print the plates for the RAF.

[spikeair]

here you go
you can find all of the plates as necessary. Free and always up to date.

interesting reading if you like this type of thing!

Good to see the Ministry of Defence using the latest technology

Jeppview has the mil plates in it if you pay for the "military" option; I believe it has Benson. But Jeppview is pretty pricey - about £2000/year for Europe.

It used to be available for the general public, (I had it bookmarked).

As a matter of interest, many years ago the Benson ILS was on 110.60. This is not a normal ILS frequency but we had no trouble with Mrs Windsor's finest aircraft.

However, when I borrowed a civilian Islander to renew my IR some years later it caused a modicum of trouble.

Benson is in my JeppView and I've not paid for the 'military' option (just standard Central Europe)

AIDU approach plates

Are the AIDU plates now not available to non-military personnel?

Have tried the AIDU site for a set of approach plates and can't get past the log in page without entering name, rank and number!?

You can get a subscription to MILFLIP as a civilian. If you have any problem let me know and I'll take it up with the boss.

If you drop me a PM today with an adddress I'll happily e-mail the current plate(s) to you. (I'm off on holiday tomorrow morning)

It's a pity that the Mil take the Civil AIP for free but restrict access to the Mil one (it used to be available free) when it's official policy to encourage the use of Mil a/d by civilian traffic.

You could have fooled me, when (~ 2 years ago) I tried to fly to Cosford. Got some officious type and gave up after they wanted a copy of the insurance 24hrs before the flight, which gave no flexibility re weather.

It would be brilliant if this really worked because there are quite a lot of these airfields.

What sort of landing fee do they charge?

[Mike Cross]

RAF Cosford - Flying Information

Mil a/d are generally PPR and Crown Indemnity cover is required, hence the insurance request.

Landing fees are set out in JSP360 Chapter 7 Annex A which is not publicly available so you'd have to ask the station concerned.

I've landed at Lyneham, Yeovilton, Odiham and Middle Wallop without paying fees but that was for events where fees were waived. Another option is to contact the flying club if there is one on the base.

Another option is to contact the flying club if there is one on the base.

which you can find out at www.raffca.org. There is certainly one at Cosford - I had a chat to them at the airshow.

Watch out if you have an old Benson ILS plate - the frequency and ident changed about a year ago. I think the minima &c are the same but don't take my word for it.
