Hello folks,
As a new pilot I'm plotting interesting routes to fly so when I've done enough solo flying to be sure I'm safe for a passenger I'll have somewhere interesting to take them.
I see that from where I fly from there is a nice route to Llanbedr (about an hours easy flight, no zone transits etc).
On SkyDemon there are a lot of danger areas around the airfield.
So I go to their website to get more info. There is no explanation of this, but that isn't my greatest concern.
What I don't get is this: All circuits are 'out to sea' therefore 'inland' is deadside.
Standard overhead join is required, But, 'not below 2000' QFE deadside',
the next line down states "Descend to circuit height".
Circuit height here is 1000' QFE.
So where am I losing 1000'?
If I don't descend deadside then it's not a standard overhead join, is it?
Sorry if this is perfectly obvious and I'm just broadcasting my ignorance but I just don't want to get it wrong and cause any kind of a potential accident...
So, can any of the folk who've been in there explain it for me? Freom searches I see Paul S has been, perhaps he could give me the lowdown.
Thanks,
Tim.
