To be called an Auster fly - in see, the rules section for requirment.

This above list covers the Fly-ins that may be of particular interest to an Auster Pilot.

It does not constitute an Invitation as such, that is for you to ascertain if you can go to that particular fly-in. The club may or may not provide airfield information on its web pages.

It is your duty as the Pilot in Command to carry out the following duties before flight.

Check all relevant Notams. http://www.ais.org.uk

Ring the Red Arrows hot line. 0500 354 802 (It is free)

Check the weather. http://secure.metoffice.com

You must have the required maps for the portion of the intended route.

You should have charts or a description of the airfield, strip you are going to land at.

If PPR is required you should obtain it by phone before departure.

If you have never been to the airfield before, whilst getting PPR if required or just for your knowledge talk to the airfield and preferably the owner or a qualified CFI./FI and get a local area, airfield brief.

Approaching Airfield listen out before getting close, to pick up local weather, gauge how busy it is.

Know the airfield joining instructions, circuit direction, etc and follow them.

If it is a non radio airfield use Safetycom on135.475 and make blind transmissions.

This list is not exhaustive but will aid in making life legal and safer for us all, because as Auster Pilots we like to go to different and sometimes unlicensed an unmonitored strips.

If you do please use Safetycom 135.475 to make the calls because it is scary to see somebody landing the other way on calm days just because you did not see them untill the last minute and we had not made any radio calls.

There is a story there somewhere
