Flying to the championshipsIn principle all microlights are welcome to fly in to the championships but there will inevitably be restrictions so the championships can operate unimpeded. Please check this website for the latest information, circuit patterns and notams
Aircraft flying in the championships will be operating non-radio and could be anywhere up to 60NM away from Long Marston so a careful lookout must be maintained at all times. Monday 18 August to Friday 22 August
inclusive.
(Official practice). Saturday 23 August (Opening day) Sunday
24 August – Friday 29 August (Competition days) Foreign registered aircraftUnless you are in a foot-launched aircraft, in order to fly your foreign-registered microlight in the UK you must have a 'UK Air Navigation Order 2000 Exemption Order' which normally lasts for 28 days.
All competitors in WMC2003 from the time of registration AT LONG MARSTON will automatically be included in a group exemption. However, visitors and those who plan to fly in the UK before registration for WMC2003 must obtain an exemption certificate. To get one you must provide the UK CAA with the following information:
Pilot details. Licence details. Aircraft registration. Aircraft Type. Permit to Fly reference. Validity dates of aircraft registration and Permit to Fly. Dates you plan to fly in the UK.
You can, of course, contact the UK CAA direct to obtain the exemption. However, if you send this information to Keith Negal, Keith@Negal.com your details will be added to a list so that a group exemption can be obtained. A copy of the exemption certificate will then be emailed to you.
