Hi

Is there somewhere I can go to see an aerial photo of UK Visual Reporting Points ?
I suppose Google maps will probably suffice but any other resource out there ?

Thanks

Go to SkyDemon, right click on the VRP and click "show on map".

There are quite a few here...

Just guessing but I'd venture the OP was referring to views from the air, not from the public gate and VOR in profile from 300yds away.

They're Visual Reference Points, not reporting. There was a study done in the mid-90s which concluded that ATC shouldn't ask you to report at a Visual Reporting Point as that could be construed as contributing towards a mid-air. The name was changed with the idea that people shouldn't aim at nailing a particular location (Maple Cross and St Giles spring to mind; far too prescriptive).

He does say so in the orig post.... doh.!

There are a handful where I have no idea what the actual visual reference is .... Lager and Milde inbound to Humberside for example seem to be nothing other than fields (are these really just waypoints that have been erroneously documented as VRPs?)

The Fly On Track website links to various locally produced documents that include photos of VRPs.

Anyone got a pic of Nash South?

Sadly many were signpost links on FoT to vfr guides housed on the caa website and they did not survive a CAA revamp of their website leaving orphaned links. I asked if they had back ups but answer was No. Some that were actually on FoT survived or i tracked down other sources and got copies.

As has been said above, on SkyDemon - just touch the waypoint and then select satellite view.

Alternatively, you can copy the lat / long from the AIP, OR FLIGHT GUIDE, then paste it into a Google Earth or Google maps.

[Iceman]

In SkyDemon, it doesn't even have to be an aviation object; just right click on any lat/long and "shown on map".

I’ve got a PDF of the Scottish TMA with most of the VRPs photographed if you want it, Irv?

@Flythrough I l reluctantly resigned from the FoT role, you could offer it to GASCO who currently have the admin password.

Like recognising your destination airfield and any other visual feature, use Google Earth, put the viewpoint at the position and height you expect to be approaching from, and see if you can spot it!
