Flying restrictions

There are some restrictions on flying at Coombe Hill imposed by the landowner (the National Trust).

• Flying at the hill is strictly limited to members of CHSA. The club pays rent to the National Trust for the right to fly here. In addition, under an arrangement between the 2 clubs, all members of the High Wycombe club (HWDMAC) are entitled to fly at the hill 'occasionally'.  Any HWDMAC member regularly flying at Coombe Hill is encouraged to join CHSA.
• No combat flying.
• Only gliders are permitted.  Electric gliders are permitted.  No combustion engines of any type are allowed.
• No flying from the monument area at the northwest corner of the hill.  (In general you should stand on the high ground half way along the western slope to fly)
• Very occasionally full size gliders will fly along the slope;  obviously these have right of way.  Maintain a visible separation in the sky and do not try to fly in front, or behind, a full size plane.

The previous arrangement between Coombe Hill and the Ivinghoe association lapsed a number of years ago.
