Arriving Out of Hours

If you are planning to arrive outside Aerodrome operating hours, you must nominate a responsible person to initiate overdue action should you fail to arrive.

Make sure your nominated person has the telephone number for NATS (National Air Traffic Service), it is 0845 6010483.

Leave the details of your flight with the nominated person – ideally a copy of your inbound flight plan.  Keep them informed of any changes. Arrange to contact them no later than 30 minutes after you arrive.

If you fail to arrive they must then contact NATS. If they have not heard from you by your planned landing time plus 30 minutes, The Supervisor will then take overdue action.
