Many of our student pilots and private hirers know to check NOTAMs and Met information before flight. However, most don’t know that Old Sarum Airfield produces a daily Airfield Status page, which includes;
-Runway condition information
-Boscombe CMATZ status
-Parachuting operations status
-Salisbury Plain Danger Area information (at weekends)
-Any other relevant Old Sarum Airfield operational info
This page can be found here;
http://www.oldsarumairfield.co.uk/index.php/facilities/airfield-status
We normally check this as part of our daily preflight briefing, and would recommend you do too!
