Re: Visit next week..
As i found out in January , if theres lying snow ofcourse theres no priority to clear the runways
Re: Visit next week..
Greetings everyone,
I have not heard any radio traffic this morning and the uncleared side roads have received some more snow o/night. I plan to do a trial run late this afternoon if I can get the car battery charged and will post comments this evening.
'til later

Damien rang me a few minutes ago to ask if COT was NOTAMed as closed as he's there, ATIS isn't broadcasting and nothing's on the line....

Only a SNOWTAM, but I guess it's implies that the place is shut?KarlADrage wrote:Damien rang me a few minutes ago to ask if COT was NOTAMed as closed as he's there, ATIS isn't broadcasting and nothing's on the line....

Re: Visit next week..
Damien's been for a wander and has sent me a pic taken on his phone. If anyone was thinking of going to COT today, I wouldn't bother - there's significant snowfall covering all of the airfield and no sign of them clearing in it (presumably what 'Breakage is nil' refers to?).
Re: Visit next week..
Breakage is nil refers to the fact if you're on the taxiway, apron or runway and try using your brakes, you're just going to keep going until you hit something solid.
Re: Visit next week..
Back home - no sign of any life at Cottesmore, taxiways and runways totally covered by snow and I hear they don't have snow clearing gear. Could be that's it for flying there until the snow melts away... and looking at the forecast, that's not going to happen any time soon.
The SNOWTAM says runway 22 is covered to a depth of 30mm (30/30/30) in dry snow (4) over ice (7), with braking friction not measured (X).

Was originally planning to be there today, but gave up over the weekend looking at the forecast. Next Mon/Tues likely to be my last chance - I hope the weather improves.
