General Information

Rules for the Airfield

The speed limit is 15 km/h at all times. Please drive along the fence line at all times. To find the centre of operations look for the caravan – its location will depend on the wind direction on the day.
Landing gliders are quiet and sneak up on you so always maintain a lookout for them when on the fields or surrounding areas
Treat all aircraft propellers as dangerous, even when stopped.
If you have friends and relatives with you, we enjoy their enthusiasm and interest, but please pass these rules onto them to make it safe for everyone (Please leave pets at home).
If you have any questions please don’t hesitate in asking.
Most importantly have a great time!
