See special restrictions. Important Information: Every pilot must log their name with the Town Hall by leaving a voicemail at 01202 901591 before flying. Include your name, BHPA number, and wing color. Additionally, notify Bournemouth Air Traffic Control at 01202 364150 before flying. This is a Wessex members-only site. July and August have restricted flying hours: only allowed up until 10:00 and after 18:00. Land immediately at 10:00. General Site Info: Southbourne is a highly public and sensitive site with many restrictions. It is crucial to follow all rules to avoid site closure. The site offers excellent flying and is conveniently located, but flying in a built-up area requires caution. Directions: From Christchurch, go over the Tuckton Bridge, follow the road to the top of the hill, turn left by ‘Chick King’ and right at the roundabout. Proceed west along Overcliff Drive. From other areas, get to Boscombe and find your way to the coast east of Boscombe Pier. Proceed along Overcliff Drive. Park on the roadside near the Commodore Pub. Parking: Roadside anywhere in the area. Hazards: You are flying inside Bournemouth Airspace. Be proficient in ground handling. When taking off, clear the wall/fence and avoid the lamppost. On light wind days, get a steady push from another pilot. Watch for rotor from buildings on westerly winds. Be cautious of high tide on the beach. Launching: Only one small knoll of grass is allowed for take-off. Top Landing: Primary top landing area is the grassy area just east of take-off or on the take-off area itself. Avoid landing on the west side of the take-off. An alternate top landing area is available to the west of the play area. Avoid rotor by landing in front of the path. Bottom Landing: Bottom landing is the beach. Only land on the beach if necessary. Watch out for high tides, groynes, and lampposts on the promenade. Other Issues: Do not fly past the houses east of take-off. Bournemouth Council is strict about all rules. Report any incidents to a club committee member. BHPA licenses must be shown to Park or Beach Wardens if asked. Avoid soaring close to buildings. Report any non-member pilots or rule violations to the Council Radio Room. Flying westward is not restricted but requires height to jump gaps at piers and chines. The out and return to Sandbanks is about 18km. Be cautious at the piers and be prepared for a large audience.
