Information

The original aerodrome is divided by a public road and only the runways to the North of the road can now be used.

Hot Spot HS1. The threshold of 21 is frequently crossed by HGV and private vehicle traffic. 
Pilots must be alert to possible incursion as there is no traffic control.

Military Air Traffic Zones (MATZ). Don’t be intimidated by the cluster of MATZ around Wickenby.  These are not Controlled Airspace, but offer a Penetration service to separate you from military traffic.  Waddington Radar (119.500) is a good place to start. If after two attempts you get no response, make blind calls and proceed through the MATZ. Do NOT enter an ATZ without making contact, even if the MATZ is cold – there may be circuit traffic. NEVER enter RAF Scampton’s Restricted Area R313 without confirming its status.  This protects the Red Arrow’s training airspace.

Aerobatics at Wickenby. Aerobatic training takes place in one of two ‘boxes’ over the airfield.  They stretch from 500 – 4000ft.  To separate training and circuit traffic, A/G Radio will confirm if active. If active NO overhead joins are permitted, the circuit direction may be changed from standard and there may be 500ft height restriction on portions of the circuit

The warehouses on the aerodrome are not to be flown over at anytime.

Departing aircraft passing 1500ft aal within the ATZ are requested to contact RAF Waddington ATC on 119.500 MHz.
