I’m pleased to release part 1 in my long-anticipated series which goes behind the scenes at UK aerodromes. In the four episodes, I give real-world examples of what’s involved with flying into and out of various types of aerodrome in the UK, and highlight the differences in procedures.
Part 1 – Air-ground – Earls Colne
At an air-ground aerodrome in the UK, an air-ground communication service can only give advice and information, therefore pilots make position reports, state their intentions, and take their own decisions.
