New ATZ - Portland East/West
30/04/2024
A permanent ATZ has been established around the Portland Heliport which affects flights from Portland East and West. It is NOTAMed now and will appear in the UK AIP in due course. The club has obtained a letter of agreement to fly within the ATZ subject to the procedures set out in the agreement (LOA Wessex HGPG). It is essential that if you intend to fly Portland you familiarise yourself with this agreement and abide by it.
The site guides for Portland East and Portland West have been updated reflect the changes.

A reminder - if you are intending to fly at Barton-on-Sea, you *MUST* phone in to the council AND you *MUST* also have had a briefing which *MUST* be recorded by YOU updating your membership record on the club website.
If you fail to do any of these and you decide to fly, you are likely to risk the club losing the site.
Please read the Barton on Sea, site guide!
