11 May

On Friday 11th May RAF Henlow Aero Club will be holding their first Competition Flying Day, to which all RAFFCA clubs and pilots are invited to participate. There will be competitions in several disciplines including a Precision Navigation Exercise/Treasure Hunt, Spot Landings and Flour Bombing. The airfield will also be hosting the DH Moth Club flying forum on that day, with a wide variety of classic Moths to see and perhaps grab a flight in. There will also be instructors on hand for those who may wish to try formation flying or have an introduction to taildragging. The airfield will open at 0900 and we will be flying through the day into the evening. There will be refreshments and lunch for those who prebook. If you are interested please email me via this or at scott.butler865 AT mod.uk for information and to register. We look forward to welcoming you to Henlow

To help pilots prepare for flying in south east England during the 2012 London Olympics the Royal Institute of Navigation (RIN) and the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), through the Airspace and Safety Initiative (ASI), have joined forces to host a free briefing day in central London on Saturday 10 March 2012.

An amendment to the Club Flying Order Book has just been issued. 3 copies are in the hut, and is available on the web site so you can read it up at home.  But you have to be logged in to download.

The new FOB will formally come into effect from Tuesday 13 Dec, and all Club members will be put "in the RED".  The FOB explains the new system; please give Stewart a call if you have any questions.

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.
