ELMSETT AIRFIELD OPEN DAY 2008

BREAKFAST PATROL
Rules of engagement

20th September 2008
10:00 - 10:30 (local time)

The FREE breakfast offer only applies to aircraft arriving overhead the airfield between 10.00am and 10.30am.

Breakfasts are available from 10.00am to 11.00am should you wish to arrive and not take part in the Breakfast Patrol scheme!

If you want to arrive "normally", please click here for normal Elmsett arrival procedures to follow to avoid conflict with "Breakfast Patrol" arrivals.

For "Breakfast Patrol" arrivals and to try to qualify for a free breakfast (10.00-10:30 only), transmit blind on Wattisham Approach (125.80) through the Wattisham MATZ (but do not fly in the Wattisham ATZ - see note below), and arrive overhead Elmsett Airfield at 1500' QNH without being spotted by our defences!

At Elmsett overhead (1500' QNH), call Elmsett Radio (130.9) "G-XXXX Overhead for a free breakfast" and proceed to join the Elmsett circuit at 800' QFE by descending (close) dead side.

If our "spotter" communicates your registration to Elmsett before you call overhead - then you've failed! By the way - don't try to call overhead when you're not - we'll have people on the ground verifying you really are overhead as you call!

Our defences will be operating on Elmsett Radio frequency (130.9), and will not be listening to Wattisham Approach (125.8) to make it a fair game, so please make sure you still make necessary radio calls (for safety) on the inbound sector to Wattisham Approach (125.8) according to the stated Elmsett procedures in the AIP.

On arrival, report to "C" in the normal way and you'll get your free breakfast voucher - if you've made it through without being spotted!

Note:
Elmsett resides within the Wattisham MATZ so blind calls to Wattisham must be made on approaching the MATZ and whilst inside the MATZ, but outside the Elmsett ATZ. On no account must Wattisham ATZ be penetrated below 3,300' AGL due to gliding via winch cables.
