EGTF Pilot’s Notice 10/2013

Posted by flysynergy on Dec 28, 2013 in Fairoaks News | 0 comments The Fairoaks Pilot's Notice 10/2013 draws attention to a trial period that will be running  from 20th January 2014 till 20th April 2014. The trial period is being held in an effort to improve the efficiency of VFR and IFR traffic interaction between Fairoaks and Farnborough. In short, during periods when the Farnborough RWY24 approach pattern is active, the following r/t package will be issued to departing aircraft: “Golf India Uniform, for co-ordination, Farnborough request not above altitude 1400ft due conflicting traffic.” This should be complied with until contact is made with Farnborough and they de-restrict the altitude limit. Pilot's operating at Fairoaks during this trial period should take the time to familiarise themselves with content of the pilot's notice, linked below. Download EGTF Pilot's Notice...

Fairoaks Annual Ball 2013

Posted by flysynergy on Nov 11, 2013 in Fairoaks News, Synergy News | 0 comments We are pleased to report a great evening was had by all who attended the Fairoaks Annual Ball last Friday. This years function followed on from the success of the inaugural ball held last year and was once again hosted in the fabulous venue at Brooklands Museum. It was particularly encouraging to see a wider range of people in attendance this year, to include students, pilots, aircraft owners and industry colleagues. Particular mention is extended to Jason Allen Sway who provided this years entertainment as 'The Unreal Michael Buble' tribute act - a great addition to the evening. The Eikon Charity was the chosen charity for this years ball and big thanks to all those who contributed towards the £300 raised on the evening. Eikon provides long-term support to some of the Surrey's most vulnerable young people and their families. Their vision is to develop happy, thriving and resilient young adults who are able to contribute positively to society. Jessica Maybanks, Eikon's Fundrasing Manager, says, "I would like to say a big thank you for the brilliant contribution made to The Eikon Charity. We very much value your support which will enable us to help even more at-risk young people over the coming years." In addition to more social events throughout Christmas and 2014, we look forward to continuing with the success of the Fairoaks Annual Ball next year. Thanks to the event sponsors, Hayward Aviation and Close Brothers Aviation & Marine, and indeed to all those who contributed to a great evening!...
