The other option is to down load it from the website and fax it in. It is a bit of a pain, but as maggioneato said its only for the first time.
I don't think its the airport being awkward, thier purely covering their backs incase soembody fails to follow the long list of do's and don'ts laid down by the CAA.
Its a very nice friendly GA airfield, well worth a visit.

So nice in fact we have been again today. Also visited Doncaster Sheffield. Uplifted fuel again, so no landing fee.
If you fly in with someone else who is already PPR'd, you can fill in the forms then fly the return flight yourself.
So I flew in, my friend flew out.

I hope to be there at 0930 tomorrow. Have to look at a something in Broomhill. Wx px of course.

How long in minutes from The airport to Broomhill by cab, anyone? Jct of Westbourne and Glossop.

Should just manage to squeeze 50 litres into the aeroplane.


Stik

Stik,
20-25 minutes should see it at that time of the morning. The rush should have abated by then.
N.Z.
P.S. Check your P.M.'s.

Noah - no PM?

If it is a PM saying, I'll run you across to yr destination, then take you back to the aerodrome for compensation in either wonga or 15 minutes in the Pitts, then assuming that a) you are not oversize and b) you don't puke all over me - then it's the sort of PM I'd love to see!

Stik

Was in the area today (driving) so decided to pop in & watch the happenings here whilst eating my lunch. Quite a tidy little aerodrome & all the people seemed friendly enough, would be shame if it does close.

Nice shiny bizjet there too (possibly a Beechjet 400)

Fried Chicken

The folk at Sheffield are very friendly and helpful, I've PPR'd for Sunday and they have promised to find space in Hangar 2 for my pocket rocket.

50 litres of fuel - I'll try but probably won't have that much ullage.


Stik

Welcome to Democracy comrade and the people's southern republic.

We enjoyed the free air display in the overhead.

h-r:)

:) :) :)

they are very very nice people!

Stik, Didn't realise one of them (Pitts pilots) was you, or would have tried to come over and say hello. I was flying the Chipmunk but not much of a gap between customers at the time you were there. My customers liked the display too.

QNH - you are far too kind.

All I intended to do was to take MichealJP59 for a loop and swoop in the general handling area but ATC had a much more "fun" plan: "Please play in the o/head!" I kept it all well above 1500'agl for the noise to permeate far and wide!

I showed Mike an aileron roll, he immediately showed me two more then we went off and I looped, Mike looped, Mike looped again and floated in 0G far better. A roll off the top followed by a 1/2 Cuban into an avalanche into a stall turn, 1/2 slow roll to inverted............... still inverted........... 1/2 slow roll to errect, big wing over to final and then a pretty poor landing!

A couple of beers in The Place in Broomhill, then a quiet but nice old pub for an abf (absloute bloody final) then back to t'hotel for some zees.

The three of us left today at 14H15 (I'd been to "school" all morning whilst the other two went shopping). V obliging controller allowed us a 3 ship formation departure.


I LOVE SHEFFIELD CITY AIRPORT




Stik


ps - probably back next week

Must add my thanks to Stik. I enjoyed the display from the front seat as well - saw some angles of Sheffield I'd never seen before:)

Now back to the Cessna 152... it will seem somewhat tame...

I was no 3 with Stik and must add that I loved Sheffield too. Perhaps next time we can arrange a longer display!!? Nice to meet you MichaelJP59

Stik.....


Minor point thought it may be, and although he thinks he is a 'controller'........Sheffield Radio is just that, and nothing more.

FE,

As one of 4 fellas that work in the tower, I think you're being a bit harsh tarring us all with the same brush!!!

Chap in the tower was very nice and helpful and as far as I'm concerned could have been SATCO or a leprechaun - it made no difference to me! I appreciated the kindness and the help.

Next time, hopefully, Flossie #3 will do his solo bit - absolutely awesome!

Thanks stik, you're more than welcome.

Unfortunately, our "supportive" neighbours didn't enjoy it quite as much, and flooded the council switch board with complaints!!! :mad: :mad:

So, after recieving a few stern words from the management this morning, I'm afraid they'll be no more fun in the overhead at Sheffield!

It was good while it lasted though!! :D

Wonder what the neighbours were complaining about then?

Was it because they weren't warned about the free air display?

Or was it the office managers moaning because the staff were distracted:)

G1,

I am very sorry if I have caused upset.

Drop me a PM if appropriate with an address and I'll write a letter of apology.

Stik

Stik - They tend to be habitual complainers who did insufficient research when purchasing a house! "Wonder wot that strip of Tarmac's for ???"

Enjoyed the show and its a shame they won't continue.

As for the Airport Management - anything that makes it look like an Airport - well they're bound to get arsey about that!!!

Thanks 4 the show

Minty
