The east end of the strip is approx 20ft lower
than the west end. Altimeters should be set at
the holding point at each end.

that you fly precisely and predictably unless
in an emergency or under special permission.

1500' with the engine throttled back, calling
Lyneham Approach on 123.4. "This
is G-M--- inbound to land at Yatesbury Field,
request permission to enter the zone not above

VISITING PILOTS SHOULD
ASSESS THE WIND DIRECTION AND MAKE A REASONED
JUDGEMENT WHICH WAY TO LAND OR WATCH FOR CIRCUIT
ACTIVITY.
Usually, if there is no wind, R/W 28 L/H is in
use due to its longer approach. It is possible
that the direction of take-off and landing may
not coincide if only one aircraft is operating
on air experience flights in nil wind or 90 deg
crosswinds.
CIRCUIT HEIGHT 600ft
Join at the beginning of the downwind or beginning
of the base leg. The downwind leg is a line taken
from the Cherhill Monument to the top of Silbury
Hill. Avoid flying over the road to Yatesbury
village. The windsock is situated at the west
end of the strip. near the rigging area. Please
clear the runway to the north and use the taxiway
on the north side of the wild flower reserve.
As a courtesy to pilots on short finals or take-off,
flexwing pilots should stop on the taxiway and
lower their runway side wing so as not to distract
the pilot who may be a low airtime student.
