TRAINING

The month starts with a reconnaissance regiment on TESEX culminating in a force on force free play exercise in the week 5 – 9 November.  There is then a relatively quiet period until 20th November when the local tank regiment, KRH, deploy on their TESEX which runs on into December.  Whilst the Plain will be quite heavily loaded during these two exercises, they should cause no disruption to the surrounding villages.

NOTE:  Due to unforeseen changes there is always a possibility that there could be firing on other of the
days listed. This is particularly so now operational training is being conducted to meet many and varied exigencies. The public should be careful to check that Red Flags are not flying before they enter the range. It is the time of the year when we change late night firing times. From March through to October the Tue, Thurs and Sat night firing times will revert back to 2330hrs.
                               
HELICOPTER NIGHT FLYING:  Night flying will normally take place Mondays - Thursdays inclusive over parts of the training area dependent on the weather and the availability of range space.  In some cases the aircraft will show no lights but will operate under strict area control.

AIR ACTIVITIES:  Dates and timings given below are those listed at the time of printing but may be altered due to aircraft serviceability or weather conditions.
