Napps Field Private Airfield Safety Advisory

This geographic risk sector covers the immediate lower airspace surrounding Napps Field. As an uncertificated and unlicensed private aviation site, it serves as a base for recreational pilots, light single-engine aircraft, microlights, and rotary-wing aircraft.

Because Napps Field operates outside of structured commercial airport scheduling, flight traffic is highly unpredictable and fluctuates based on favorable weather conditions and daylight hours. Crewed aircraft utilize this strip from the ground level up. Consequently, their localized airfield traffic circuits, low-altitude arrival descents, and departure climbs cut directly through the 0–400ft AGL column typically used by unmanned aircraft.

Remote pilots must maintain a strict, continuous visual line of sight (VLOS) with their drones. It is critical to continuously scan the local horizon, actively listen for acoustic signatures of piston engines or rotor blades, and remain prepared to yield right-of-way immediately and unconditionally by descending or landing the drone safely.
