If joining from the north, north west or north east join via the Ellesmere Lake VRP, then direct Sleap.
If joining from the south or south west join via the Montford Bridge Disused Airfield VRP, then direct Sleap.
Fixed wing aircraft to join using a 2000 ft QFE overhead join into the appropriate circuit pattern when busy, if not straight in, crosswinds downwind may be used.
1000ft circuit fixed wing, 800ft gyro/slow moving circuit inside the fixed wing circuit.
Departures:
Aircraft intending to depart into Shawbury MATZ are advised to climb to 2400ft QNH or above within 2nm radius of Sleap before entering the MATZ. Aircraft can also climb out to the west (Class G) before tuning and entering MATZ (plus the pretty welsh hills are that way!)
Be aware of the Shawbury entry/exit lane 1nm south of the Sleap ATZ between 500ft to 1500ft.
Departing aircraft should call Shawbury Zone 133.155.
loop Circuit & Procedures
Fixed Wing Circuit Height 1000ft.
All circuits to the East.
Circuits should be inside the ATZ at all times
Gyros (800ft)
Prefix all calls with the word "Gyro".
Noise Abatement:
Adjust circuit to avoid over flying local villages and town, particularly Wem, Clive, Loppington, Noneley, Burlton and Ruewood. Aircraft, especially high-powered singles or twins, departing from Rwy 36 should make a 10° right turn after take-off to avoid Noneley if safe to do so.
