warning Caution
The site is authorized to take cables to 3000ft AAL. Overflying aircraft should be at 4100ft AMSL or higher for safe separation from
launch cables. Inbound aircraft should avoid (and not confuse Aston Down with) Kemble airfield 4nm south east of Aston Down.
Avoid overflying local villages and light industrial area on western side of airfield. Perimeter track not available for taxiing. Caution
should be exercised when crossing boundaries between tarmac and grass areas because of drainage gullies. Do not cross
winch cables. Aeromodellers frequently operate from end of non-active runway (usually east end of 09/27). Blo-kart sailors
occasionally operate on non-active runway (usually west end of 09/27 but occasionally north end of 03/21). Paramotor
operations take place primarily from 09 but also 03 and 21 Grass.
