The runway is 02/20 with all circuits to the East, avoiding Stapleford ATZ.

There is an uneven slope downwards from south to north and the threshold altitudes are approximately as follows:

• 02 is 250ft amsl,
• 20 is 225ft amsl.

WARNINGS:

• This is a very busy area – keep a good lookout at all times
• You may wish to contact Stapleford Radio for details of their traffic.
• It is suggested that arriving traffic joins from the North East at Stapleford circuit height (1200ft amsl) before descending into a circuit at about 1000ft amsl (750ft aal).
• If Stapleford is operating off runway 22 or 28, some circuit traffic may fly overhead the field
• There are high tension power lines within about half a mile from the threshold of runway 20
• There are trees at the threshold of the runway in both directions
• There are trees and other obstructions around the entire site: pilots should be prepared to encounter significant gusts on approach.
• The first 100 yards of runway 20 is severely undulating
• The runway has an uneven slope along its length downwards towards 20 threshold with an overall drop of about 40ft.
• There is a possibility of livestock encroaching the runway
• There are two public footpaths crossing the runway at approximately the mid point
• An electric fence and barbed wire run close to the eastern side of the runway.
• There is domestic property bounded by hedges close to the western side of the runway
• Jenkins Farm is an unlicensed farm strip with very limited emergency facilities
• The runway can be very soft after periods of rain

Note to pilots, the zigzag hedge-line on the south-eastern boundary makes a useful

recognition point when approaching from the Doddinghurst radio mast north of Brentwood.
