<p>
|
||||
Firstly, please be assured that Swansea Airport likes to help our drone flying colleagues
|
||||
where we possibly can.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
You are likely aware of the map adjacent: the purple rectangles show the Runway Protection
|
||||
Zones, the purple circle is the Flight Restriction Zone (FRZ), and the red circle is the
|
||||
Parachuting Protection Zone.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
We ask all drone operators operating in the vicinity of the aerodrome to let us know with as
|
||||
much notice as possible via email, with the following information:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Date of flight</li>
|
||||
<li>Estimated take-off time</li>
|
||||
<li>Estimated completion time</li>
|
||||
<li>Location</li>
|
||||
<li>Maximum elevation (feet above mean sea level)</li>
|
||||
<li>Details of the Operator and Flyer ID</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
We will then reply with any operational considerations and, if required, approve or decline a
|
||||
flight if it is within the FRZ or RPZs. We are not in the habit of declining, so please email
|
||||
us.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
After this, all we ask is that on the day, you call us in tower on
|
||||
<a href="tel:01792687042">01792 687042</a> twenty minutes prior to launch, so we can give
|
||||
you any operational updates and also broadcast a warning on our frequency to any aircraft.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Parachuting</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Parachuting tends to take place Friday to Sunday from Spring to Winter. This can involve free
|
||||
fall descents from 15,000' AMSL. We recommend avoiding these times due to the requirement to
|
||||
ensure the safety of descending skydivers.

Swansea Airport, and its proprietors Swansea Airport Stakeholders Alliance, always look to
|
||||
operate in a way to minimise any negative impact on its neighbours and the local environment
|
||||
as much as we possibly can, whilst of course ensuring we can carry out our operations as an
|
||||
aerodrome as effectively as possible.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The impact of noise will always be a consideration in any operational planning that takes
|
||||
place. The aerodrome is also putting a register of noise complaints into place, so that we
|
||||
can monitor noise matters in certain areas to ensure we have the maximum knowledge available
|
||||
when making decisions.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The aerodrome authority will always monitor the situation, and attempt to advise based pilots
|
||||
of any sensitive areas.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
With the above said, it should be noted that we are not an Air Traffic Control authority, and
|
||||
that the conduct of any flight is solely under the authority of the commander of the aircraft.
|
||||
Neither Swansea Airport, nor Swansea Airport Stakeholders Alliance, has authority to direct,
|
||||
control, restrict, or otherwise interfere with the chosen legal actions or decisions of the
|
||||
aircraft commander.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
It is also worth noting that s.79(6) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 specifically
|
||||
exempts aircraft noise from the general noise nuisance controls which exist under that
|
||||
legislation, and s.76 of the Civil Aviation Act 1982 exempts an aircraft that was being flown
|
||||
in accordance with the regulations governing aircraft flight from prosecution for trespass or
|
||||
nuisance.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If you believe that a flight was conducted contrary to those regulations, then a complaint can
|
||||
be filed online with the Civil Aviation Authority, who has the power to investigate (search
|
||||
for CAA Form FCS1520).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Contact and complaints</h2>

||||

<h1 class="section-title">Volunteering Vacancies at Swansea Airport</h1>
|

|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Swansea Airport is manned and run by a mix of volunteers and staff. Volunteering can be
|
||||
incredibly beneficial in many ways. Here are several key reasons why volunteering at Swansea
|
||||
Airport can have a positive impact.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Skill Development</h2>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<strong>Transferable skills:</strong> Volunteering allows you to develop skills that are
|
||||
valuable in the workplace, such as communication, teamwork, leadership, time management,
|
||||
problem solving, and organisation.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<strong>Industry-specific experience:</strong> Many of our volunteer roles can provide
|
||||
hands-on experience in the aviation field, which can be hard to get initially.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Networking Opportunities</h2>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<strong>Building connections:</strong> Volunteering can expose you to a diverse collection
|
||||
of people, including professionals, enthusiasts, and community leaders. These connections
|
||||
can lead to job opportunities, mentorship, and highly valuable professional connections.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<strong>Expanding your circle:</strong> Networking with others in your field can give you
|
||||
leading insights into job openings and industry trends, potentially giving you a
|
||||
competitive edge in your future employment searches.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>CV Enhancement</h2>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<strong>Demonstrates commitment and initiative:</strong> Employers value candidates who
|
||||
show commitment to helping others and contributing to society.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<strong>Adds diversity to your experience:</strong> Volunteering can fill gaps in your CV,
|
||||
especially if you are just starting out or transitioning to a new field.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Those are just a few reasons. If you are interested in expanding your horizons and
|
||||
volunteering at Swansea Airport, please pop up and ask to speak to somebody, or register your
|
||||
interest on our dedicated volunteering portal.
