Night Flying Times

Within the available hours of darkness at this time of year night flying will begin, typically, at 6pm and should be finished by 1am (or earlier if the programme is complete). We realise that night flying, will, regrettably, cause some noise disturbance and therefore the amount of night training is kept to the minimum required to train our aircrew effectively.

NB. Although every effort will be made to promulgate accurate information the forecast night flying programme and times may be subject to short-notice changes owing to weather conditions, aircraft serviceability and other unforeseen factors. Please note also that where NVG training is specified 60(R) Sqn Griffins will use the Nesscliffe Training Area or Chetwynd or Tern Hill to conduct under-slung load training. These areas may be used for other exercises on an ad-hoc basis. The Duty Instructor can be contacted on 01939 250351 Ext 7488. Otherwise, please contact the Community Relations Officer (Ext 7572) the following morning.
