Gliding Nationals at Lasham (EGHL)

[C Rule]

Below is an extract from a letter I have sent to various LARS providers in the London FIR . I thought members might be interested.



I write to advise you that there will be a Gliding Competition originating from Lasham airfield (EGHL) between 8th Aug to 16 Aug 2009.The period of the competition will be the subject of a NOTAM valid for the above period.

The period of activity will be from 0830UTC until Sunset and will involve up to 100 gliders on task.
The competition tasks will be weather dependant but will range in length from 75nm to in excess of 350nm.
The tasks will be set between various points on the UK Landmass south of 53.00N. The tasks will be set in Class G Airspace.
The gliders will fly at heights of between 500ft above ground to the top of the convective layer, will not observe quadrantal rules and may fly in cloud.

Tasks will be notified on a daily basis to Low Flying Booking Cell at RAF Wittering and to Swanwick (Mil) ATC Supervisor.

I shall endeavor to notify you directly when a task impinges upon your immediate area and to this end it would be helpful if you could advise me of preferably a contact e-mail address or fax number to enable rapid dissemination of information.

Should you require any further information on the day, Lasham Competition Control can be contacted on 01256 384900 or direct to me on 07836 284096

If I can assist with any further information please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours faithfully,
