7 MAR 08: DUXFORD'S FLY-IN BONUS DAYS

DUXFORD is staging a Safety Day on 12 April - the first of a series of Bonus Days for private pilots this year.

A series of informal presentations and chats will take place during the day. Among the safety experts present will be Steve McKie of NATS, who will talk about airspace Infringements and show some radar replays of controlled airspace infringements.

Others include Farnborough ATC, who will explain how the new London LARS works, Irv Lee, who runs the 'Fly on Track' website, will be giving some of his popular and easy-to-understand weather tips, and David Cockburn, who will explain the CAA's policy towards the safe use of GPS. In addition, AOPA will introduce its 'Wings Award' scheme for developing PPLs/NPPLs.

There's no special charge, just the normal Bonus Day discounted landing and discounted museum admission. On this day only, if the weather is poor, or if you can't fly in, you can come in by car - but you must pre-book.

The various themed Bonus Days during the year offer a half-price landing fee of £7 and discounted admission (also £7) to the museum facilities. Children are free. On Bonus days only, the Briefing Room and balcony on the first floor of the historic Control Tower is freely available for Bonus pilots and their passengers.

On all Bonus Days, phone for PPR and briefing
