Enter the local area if possible at a height in excess of 2500 feet.
Do not confuse the aerodrome for any other in the local area (illustrations of runway design below). Gransden Lodge Gliding site 1.5 nm North East
If you can not easily identify the airfield, do not descend below 2500 feet until you have done so.
Join on long finals for each runway (no obstacles above tree height each direction for 10 miles) if possible with a glide approach and prop NOT supersonic! ie 2300rpm for a lycoming or less is best.
If you have to fly a go-around, either turn immediately to rejoin downwind (28 left, 10 right) or climb straight head for 3 miles.
