JANUARY 5, 1939 FLIGHT. g THE ROYAL AERO CLUB News and Official Notices for Air Touring Fillip 1 AIR touring in 1939 is expected to receive a substantial stimulus with the issue of the new F.A.I. Air Tourist's Identity Cards for this year. Touring advantages whkA can be obtained by no other means are conferred upon the holders. Free of all charge they are entitled to land, to take off and to house their aircraft, up to 48 hours, at any one of numerous aerodromes in 19 different countries outside Great Britain. The cards are issued only to full members of national aero clubs affiliated to the Federation Aeronautique Internationale. They are 5m. X3£in. in size, coloured orange for 1939, and they must contain a photograph of the holder. The cards are issued free to members of the Royal Aero Club. Countries granting these reciprocal facilities are: Belgium, .Czechoslovakia, France (including Algeria and Morocco), Greece, Holland, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Lithuania, Luxem bourg, Norway, Poland, Roumania, Sweden, Switzerland, and Yugoslavia. The F.A.I. Air Tourist's Identity Card is not to be confused with the A.A. and R.Ae.C Air Touring Card, which can be obtained by Automobile Association and Royal Aero Club members upon payment of a special fee and which entitles them to the services of the Touring Departments of these two organisations. F.A.I. Paris Conference T HE annual meeting of the Council of the F.A.I, will be held in Paris on January 5, 6 and 7, 1939, and the Royal Aero Club will be represented by Lord Londonderry, K.G., P.C., M.V.O., W. Lindsay Everard, M.P., Major A. Good- fellow, Capt. K. Bartlett and Mr. Harold E. Perrin. Other members of the delegation will be Prof. D. Brunt, M.A., chair man of the British Gliding Association, representing the gliding movement, and Dr. A. P. Thurston, President of the Society of Model Aeronautical Engineers, representing the model movement. Ski Heil! A EROPLANES visiting the Berne and Lausanne aerodromes must follow the example of others and wear skis. Broad cast messages have given this warning during the week. The depth of snow at Berne was given in a message as 30 cm. and at Lausanne as 27 cm. During similar years, when similar warnings have been broadcast, aeroplanes fitted with skis have operated successfully from these places. Suez News D EFINITION is given to extensive prohibited areas on either side of the Suez Canal by an Egyptian Notice to Airmen dated December, 1938. It gives a map showing that the area reaches from Port Said down to the Gulf of Suez, with a narrow corridor near El Kantara. Abu Sueir is within the area. In addition, further small prohibited areas are established at Heliopolis, Helwan, Abu Sueir, Ismailia, and Abu Kir. Pilots are warned that aircraft which have not previously obtained permission to land at these aerodromes should not approach within one mile of their perimeters. NEW AERODROME.—Shortly after the notice giving new pro hibited areas in Egypt was issued another notice announced that a new aerodrome is being built at Gamil, about 7 km. West of Port Said, in its present state it is liable to be flooded and dangerously soft after being flooded. Belgian Air Layers A DIVISION into three horizontal zones of the air space above Belgium during periods of bad visibility, low ceiling or in extensive cloudy weather conditions, is made in a Belgian Notice to Airmen. When such conditions exist flight by aircraft not fitted with wireless is prohibited. Aircraft fitted with wireless may fly in the lowest zone (o to 750m. above sea-level) or in the upper zone (over 1,500m. above sea-level) with the authority of the Control of Brussels aerodrome. The middle zone (750-1,500m.) is reserved, in principle, for blind-flying exercises by the Belgian Air Force. Week Ended December 31 In addition there are special regulations for a control zone of 30 km. radius round Brussels aerodrome. Air News CYPRUS.—The landing ground at Nicosia is closed annually during the months of December, January and February on account of the fact that the ground is liable to be unsafe owing to rains. The landing ground at Larnaca is, however, normally suitable for landing all the year round. No facilities exist at either ground for night landing. Customs and quarantine ex amination can be affected at either ground. EGYPT.—Information has been received that quarantine fees have been cancelled. These fees were previously collected from passengers and crew of each aircraft landing or leaving. HOLLAND.—Leeuwarden aerodrome is closed to aircraft until April 1, 1939. IRELAND.—Kildonan aerodrome, situated ij miles N.W. of Finglas, County Dublin, is closed until further notice. SUDAN.—Khartoum aerodrome: Great care should be exercised when using the above aerodrome owing to extensive levelling and constructional work. As from January i the new aero drome at Wadi Haifa will be brought into use and the old aerodrome will be abandoned. The new aerodrome is situated approximately six miles S. of the town on the West side of the Atbara-Wadi Haifa Railway.
