Overhead joins are possible only with Boscombe's permission.
GIVE WAY to circuit traffic.
Depart via Crosswind Leg to Alderbury

(NOTE: Boscombe ATZ is H24)Use the standard overhead join at 2000ft (QFE) & a standard overhead departure. Except when parachute procedures are in operation, (please take a look at the parachute procedures UPDATED 1st October 2009).
Parachute procedures are activated as required by radio on 123.2 (Old Sarum Radio). The procedures remain in force until declared ended by Old Sarum Radio, (generally when all canopies are down and the paradrop aircraft is established in the circuit.
The paradrop aircraft will prefix its call-sign with the word, 'Para': e.g. 'Para Whiskey Romeo'. Visiting pilots should note that after dropping parachutists, (from altitudes up to FL130), the paradrop aircraft will make an expeditious descent in the vicinity of the aerodrome. BEWARE plummeting aircraft!Currently, parachuting only takes place at weekends and on public holidays.
NOISE ABATEMENT
All pilots should comply with Old Sarum's joining and departure procedures which have been developed to maximise the safety of all aerodrome users and to minimise noise disturbance to our neighbours.
