Please make the effort and print it, be familiar with it and bring it with you.  Also sort your radios out as described above before intending to fly at this site.
If you do not have a suitable radio one can be rented from the some club pilots.

Please contact the Tasman Club or any local pilot who will help to explain and assist in the process.

As the Barnicoat site is within  MTZ we cannot express the importance of complying with this MOU.
For the benifits of all pilots now and in the future please ensure that any pilot travelling with you knows of this procedure for this site.
