​

Up-to-date conditions can be sought by calling the Hinton Skydive Centre 01295 812 300, but note that Hinton is an unlicensed airfield so they cannot give you definitive advice, only observations to help you to make your own decision.

Further information

1. Visiting aircraft are requested to use runway 06/24 (700 metres x 18 metres). Circuits are variable. There are two further hard runways which are NOT suitable for landing or taking off.

2. Gliding activities generally use opposite circuit direction to powered aircraft so there is NO DEAD SIDE. Give way to gliders at all times which may operate on 06/24. When on finals, keep a good lookout for gliders turning base leg to final for 06/24 and 09/27 grass areas.

3. Whilst parachuting is in progress, it is advisable to hold 5NM clear of the circuit and join the circuit when all jumpers are down. At times when there is no gliding or parachuting, make blind calls and observe normal circuit procedures.
