description Airfield Notes
Pilots approaching Lee-on-Solent and intending to remain outside of Southampton CTR/Solent CTA are advised to maintain a listening watch only on Solent Radar 120.230 MHz and select SSR code 7011 to reduce the risk of infringing adjacent controlled airspace.
Fleetlands ATZ is to be avoided unless two-way contact is made on 135.700 MHz.
The Coastguard apron, helipad and dispersal is out of bounds and is not to be used by visiting aircraft.
All fixed wing aircraft should be aware of rotary traffic operating to the south of the main runway.
The Runways 05/23 and grass strip are operated as a single runway strip. No simultaneous parallel approaches or departures are permitted.

For noise abatement after Wickham VRP, head for the Titchfield Gyratory maintaining clear of built up areas. Aircraft arriving from the south, west and east are suggested to join via Spinnaker VRP, Calshot VRP or Cowes VRP. Be aware that Calshot VRP is located underneath Solent CTA 2 which extends from 2000ft – 5500ft AMSL and is just to south of the Southampton Airport CTZ.
