DRONE OPERATIONS – ASTON CLINTON (3 JUN 26)

We have a drone operating in Aston Clinton on the dates shown below;

Today (03/06/26) – 4:20pm to 5:10pm

Tomorrow (04/06/26) – 4:20pm to 5:10pm

Friday (05/06/26) 3:50pm to 4:15pm

Monday (08/06/26) 4:20pm to 5:10pm

Tuesday (09/06/26) 4:20pm to 5:10pm

If we are using RW20 we will have to suspend flying for that period, however if we are using RW25 we may be able to continue Ops, jus be dependant on wind direction that day. This unfortunately has to be very fluid for us to continue Ops for that period.

It’s for a survey for the proposed new housing development in Weston Road, Aston Clinton. Traffic Census.

Flying programme has been updated to that effect.

GA FLIGHT DATA RECORDING (25 Apr 26)

GA’s HOBBS metre is suspect and cannot be relied on to provide accurate data. 

Until it is fixed, flight costs will be calculated by Plogbook in the same way as RY – ie TACHO time plus 0.2.  Please continue to record HOBBS time on the Flight Payment sheet so we can monitor GA’s HOBBS metre performance, but do not enter  the HOBBS reading into Logbook;  instead add the TACHO elapsed time plus 0.2 to the HOBBS start reading for your flight – just as you do now for RY.

HELO OPERATIONS

RAF Halton will be facilitating aerodrome access for Helicopter Services Ltd (HSL) aircraft for landaway training. The activity constitutes a change in normal airfield outputs, and the detail (here) must be read and understood by all pilots operating at Halton ahead of their next flight.

With Immediate Effect all defects will be reported and recorded on Plogbook and NOT in the Defects Log in the ac Documents Folder.  The procedure is explained in Section 5 of the Documents Folder – Defect Reporting Procedure. The criteria for deferring (defects (or not) are unchanged;  it is simply where the defect is recorded that is new.
