08 approach / 26 climbout also has some very extreme human factors implications (for those who don't know, Compton Abbas is on a high ridge with a deep valley to the west which falls away very sharply). For a low hours PPL to judge the approach / climb out is quite challenging due to the lack of ground reference.

I found the 26 approach bad enough ... on about 2 mile final I managed to 'identify' a white PA-28 doing power checks as the 26 numbers :O so we had a slightly 'interesting' approach correcting for that :\

and a fine piece of correcting it was I may add.

Evo`s Navigator. :ok:

Just your standard diversion around the Solent zone then, EVO?

:p :p :p

They let us through this time, and I've got the GPS track to prove it :) Still, we avoided them on the way back ... just in case ;)

Evo, your GPS track might prove that you went through the Solent zone. But it doesn't prove that they let you through! And even if they did, I'm sure they gave you a hard time nonetheless :D

(Sorry!)
