The following charts show the Club's flying activity over the last two years, as reported by our members using the Club's PIREP facility.
The first chart shows total recorded club activity. This is followed by individual location charts showing the number of arrivals and departures at those locations which have been defined as preferred by the club at various times.
The total recorded club activity.
Shoreham was adopted for a trial period as a preferred club base location on February 1st 2008. It was dropped again on November 1st in favour of the Guest Locations scheme. However, it remained popular, and was reinstated as a Club training base and continues to be popular today.
Gloucester was adopted as the second club base location soon after the club was formed in 2004. It is still in use as our preferred location for Tuesday evenings.
Sherburn-in-Elmet was adopted as a club base location in 2018 following the closure (real world) of Biggin Hill to private aviation. It is a challenge to fly into or out of because of its arrival and departure procedures required because of its location.
Biggin Hill was adopted as the first club base location soon after the club was formed in 2004. Because it closed real world in 2018, we were "asked to leave" (virtually) so our long association with this historic airfield came to an end.
