Updated now that the QinetiQ information page has been removed:



From 1 July 2010 (AIRAC 7/2010), additional segregated airspace in the vicinity of Boscombe Down aerodrome and to the south of
the existing Salisbury Plain Danger Area complex have been introduced. This development establishes additional Danger Areas and an
adjustment to the upper limit of one existing Danger Area; it has been introduced to accommodate flights by MoD operated Unmanned
Aircraft Systems (UAS).

The Director of Airspace Policy has approved the creation of the additional segregated airspace around Boscombe Down and the changes were implemented on 1 July 2010.

INTRODUCTION

The Bustard Flying Club exists to stimulate air-mindedness and to encourage a practical interest in and knowledge of flying among the staff at MoD Boscombe Down and other eligible personnel linked to the MoD and QinetiQ.

The Club owns two aircraft (Robin DR400-120 - G-OYIO and Slingsby T-67M MkII Firefly - G-BUUI) which are available for hire by Club members; the Club also provides training to the Private Pilot’s Licence (PPL) standard. Some Club members operate their own aircraft under the auspice of the Club and this allows the Club to support significantly more flying than could be achieved with just the two aircraft. The Club has some eighty members, is affiliated to the Royal Air Force Flying Clubs Association (RAFFCA) and is administered by a Committee which is elected annually.

We are aware that the RAF Aerobatic team expect to display at the following sites in the UK on the dates given. Restriction of Flying Orders are likely to be issued for these and probably others which have not yet been finalised, but all will be promulgated by Mauve AIC and NOTAM closer to the time, and reminders will be broadcast on the Freephone number 0500 354802 (and on 020 8899 2401) on the day. Between displays, the team may also carry out flypasts at various venues. These, while not subject to formal restrictions, might be considered places to avoid around the time of the flypast, and will also be advised by NOTAM.
