Peterborough/Sibson (EGSP)
PostPosted:Tue Dec 23, 2008 10:09 pm
Peterborough/Sibson is situated on the southern boundary of the RAF Wittering/Cottesmore CMATZ, on the Cambridgeshire/Northamptonshire border.
Intense parachuting takes place from the field up to FL135, although this does not affect GA activity - the only constraints being that overhead and dead-side joins are prohibited. Visitors/transitting aircraft should call Sibson Radio on 120.325Mhz to ascertain the latest parachuting situation. The airfield is PPR. Visitors must be equipped with radio.
While parachuting is in progress:
Transiting aircraft must not penetrate the ATZ.
Helicopters may not operate in the ATZ.
Inbound aircraft are to call Cottesmore Zone on 130.200Mhz when 15nm from Wittering. If no RT contact is established during Wittering operational hours aircraft must avoid the Wittering MATZ except for that part that lies to the south of Sibson and descend to Sibson circuit height before entering.
