Pilots should understand that the sound of aircraft engines can be very irritating to some
people on the ground.In the interests of good
relations with our neighbours, pilots must be responsible citizens and be careful not to
overfly the areas marked on the map. Obvious sensitive areas include Welshpool town
and the village of Forden, as marked in the picture.
The finger of un-wooded land on the hill near Forden, known as 'The Stub', must be
avoided. This is on the downwind leg of the circuit for runway 22.
And on the downwind leg of the circuit for runway 04, do not fly
between the main A483 road and the airport.
The areas are easy to discern when in an aircraft, and we ask all
pilots to exercise care. Instructors, in particular should ensure their students are
aware of the importance of responsible airman-ship.
