Flying near Oxford Airport? Use the Oxford FMC

Planning to fly near Oxford Airport (EGTK)? The Oxfordshire Local Airspace Infringement Team reminds pilots that they are recommended to make use of the Oxford Frequency Monitoring Code (FMC) rather than squawking 7000 or 2000 when not in receipt of an air traffic service:

• Oxford Radar 125.090
• FMC 4517

It’s a simple step that enhances situational awareness and reduces the risk of airspace infringement. It can also help mitigate collision risk with high-performance traffic, including business jets and helicopters, operating to and from the airport.

An FMC card will be published soon on the Airspace & Safety Initiative website. In the meantime, note the frequency and code for flight planning.
