Our Club at Worcester Airfield - pilot information

PDF | Print | E-mail

Worcester airfield (FAWC) is a registered airfield leased from the local municipality.

It lies at 650 ft MSL and has a runway 1600m long with 500 metres of tarred surface at each end. The centre section is gravel and the orientation is 15/33. A gravel cross runway exists on a 12/30 orientation.

Parallel to the main 15/33 runway is another gravel runway used for winch launching operations.

The circuit procedure for runway 15 is a right hand circuit for power aircraft and a left hand circuit for gliders. For runway 33 the circuit is left hand for power aircraft and right hand for gliders. This arrangement keeps noisy power aircraft away from the town.

FAWC is an uncontrolled airfield and traffic in the vicinity normally uses the radio frequency 124,8 MHz for TIBA and circuit calls. When gliding is in progress there is usually a manned ground station that should respond to "Worcester Ground", and will be able to provide details of runway in use and wind direction and strength.

Runway lights may be activated by 5 radio button clicks on 124,8 MHz and extinguished with 7 clicks.
