Coronavirus Update - 6th January 2021
COVID / Message from Captain Colin Dobney, Head of Training, Stapleford Flight Centre
Update 6th January 2021: As many of you will now know from the news media, there are new lockdown guidelines from the UK Government. General Aviation (GA) flying is permitted for the purposes of work where it is not reasonably possible to work or provide those services at home. Social distancing measures must be in place and observed at all times. Flying training organisations providing training for professional pilots, for the purposes of work, may continue to do so. Individuals undertaking such activity may continue to attend for these purposes.
Social distancing measures must be in place and observed at all times. Engine health and maintenance check flights can only take place where there is a critical safety requirement to do so, and alternative options are not available. Such flights, where conducted, must be kept to the minimum duration possible and should land at the same airfield from which they departed, except where this is outside the reasonable control of the pilot.
For further and more detailed advice on restrictions that apply to any entered UK postcode, including ours at Stapleford Flight Centre which is RM4 1SJ, please visit: www.gov.uk
Stay Safe
Regards
Colin Dobney
Head of Training Stapleford Flight Centre

24th March 2015 - Re: Southend Controlled Airspace
When requesting a clearance into the new Southend CAS, from April 2nd 2015, it would be advisable to quote the CTA number(s) that you want clearance into. Sadly the CTA numbers are not shown on the new 1:500,000 chart and so you will find this chart useful. We strongly suggest that you carry it with you when flying locally to help you ensure you get the clearance you want. If you have any questions or concerns please contact one of the instructors at Stapleford: 01708 688380.
