NOTAMS

[colin keightley]

Just been to FR Aviation at Teesside for a Tour and it was mentioned about the increasing dificulty of avoiding notamed areas and said that they do low level work at weekends also and have ocassionaly found themselves in a situtation where gliders are not seen till the last second.
These aircraft when they are working with the RAF when they go low level they go fast they fly with a clearance for 500ft agl unlike military aircraft if you NOTAM a site they will avoid that area.

The long and short of it is I been asked to ask you lot to NOTAM on a weekend also PLEASE. Especially North edge of North Yorkshire Moors as they enter there low and fast.

I will add he did say the sailplanes were the main problem.

unlike military aircraft if you NOTAM a site they will avoid that area.

If you ever want an up close and personal with any of the heavy metal, just post a NOTAM at Moneylaws.
Guaranteed they will come around.

Never the less Bob we have got to notam this keeps us on the right side if anything happens (god forbid) its a shame that all of our members don't see it that way ? or they do ! but just can't be bothered...

FR Aviation are a Civilian operation so when they are low and fast they will avoid NOTAMed sites. The Military is different a NOTAM to them is just to tell them there is ariel activity in that area.
