Pooleys page for N.Denes ?

Does anyone have a copy of the pooleys guide for the old N.Denes heliport ? Looking for info on circuit patterns used for the runways ?
Thanks BG

A Cherokee did a 'test' landing on the runway just last week.
Details are on 'another' forum.

Chevron yes I'm aware of the test landings, I did one in my gyroplane last week also. They have no Aerodrome procedures in place hence for future visits I would like to have some and don't wish to reinvent the wheel if previous ones can be established. BG

The declared distances should be about right although they're really meant for helicopters carrying out instrument approaches so for VFR ops they could be increased. No entry about circuit procedures so presumably LHC on every runway.
Pooleys 1980 gives:
10/28 582m x 30m but licensed LDA for helis on runway 28 was 436m
18/36 381m x 30m
So roughly the same as Netherthorpe.

Discussion on Flyer Forums.

thanks I was hoping there might be some info in an old pooleys guide, mine of 1996 doesnt show it so asking around. Just have to make it as safe as possible for future visit and wait for something formal to be published. Cheers BG

Both runways more than ample for gyros and microlights (I'm talking 3 - axis here) and doable for other light aircraft such as C150/152 and as I said, other runways like Netherthorpe seem to manage OK; runway 12/30 at Denham likewise.

I recall that Aerad/Navtech produced aerodrome plates for North Denes when CHC were the aerodrome operator. Another source might be the AIDU Helicopter Landing Sites or Minor Aerodrome booklets.
