OLDFIELD

DUE TO A RECENT INCIDENT, MULTICOPTERS/DRONES ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED TO BE FLOWN AT OLDFIELD, EXCEPT FOR SPECIFIC SEARCH/RESCUE OPERATIONS

Oldfield is our flat field flying site and is located in the Winkton/Sopley area to the east of the main road. Access is from the west via Harpway Lane.

 The rules for Oldfield are here. Please read them before you go flying. Safety is of prime importance and a sketch showing the No-Fly zones is below.

The first fliers at the field must contact Bournemouth Air Traffic on 01202 364150 and tell them flying is about to start. the last flier to leave must tell them flying has finished for the day

For the first time in many years we have a field where the location of the Pilots’ Box (or “Flight Line”) can be changed to suit the wind direction. The first fliers at the field, should set up the Pilots’ Box then place their models in the pits area, 15 metres at least behind the pilots’ box, then any chairs immediately behind that. If there are members of the public in the area, they must not be overlfown. If necessary, flying must stop until they are clear or until is is possible to fly without overflying.

Access is via the gate in Harpway Lane. If visiting the Farm Shop or toilets by car, return by the main road and Harpway Lane, not over the farm tracks.

For the combination to the gate shown on the map, contact the Committee
