floppyjock, I suggested NOTAMing activity, not 365 days a year. Probably a weekend-only NOTAM and additional ones as applicable for bank holidays etc. The advantage of that is that it would then appear on the many graphic NOTAM presentation software packages available. I use this one UK 48-Hour Notams : Warnings and Restrictions and it is the dog's bollocks. You will see that today, 7 Sept, the activity at Errol Park and jumping at Fife is depicted; it would be good if Errol was as well.
That's what I call information that is not difficult to get, as opposed to hidden in the AIP - see my point? If you're serious about informing people about your activity - as opposed to covering your back - you really should look at that option.

Mad Jock: We have a risk assesment an SOPs. Which have been approved by the CAA and BPA. Im not aware of any other airfield users.
We are the only ones on a weekend. No idea what goes on there during the week. I do know there is sometimes some driver training going on though.

Suggest you find out who is using it and who is phoning up aircraft owners using G info data then.
If you are barely using it 2 days out of 7, NOTAM is the only sensible option.
And how old is that risk assement? If its more than 8 years old it was when one of the jump pilots was rumoured to be shagging one of the ATCO's at Dundee. And if you having airpox's with CAT on the instrument approaches it needs looked at again.

Don't know him after my time. But to be honest thats an even better rumour.
Although slightly unfair if he wasn't working there 8 plus years ago. I am sure if he is that way inclinded he won't be seen dead with your average scottish bloke pilot, meat bomber or not.

If anyone is phoned why not ask who is calling, simple. Its not my airfield talk to the owner if its during the week.
The risk assessment and SMS is audited ever two years by the CAA/BPA and updated as required. The CAT was not on an instrument approach. Id wait until the airprox report is out before making any judgements.
