• Bombing ranges: never enter the range. If the red flag/light is hoisted, stay clear.
• Keep distance from targets/impact areas; obey all posted signage and access rules.
• No lasers/bright lights toward aircraft, towers, or personnel. It is illegal and dangerous.
• Use radios/spotting gear responsibly; avoid interfering with operations.
• Wildlife: training may reduce wildlife/bird activity; respect protected species and closures.
• Donna Nook seals (winter): expect restrictions; keep distance and follow local guidance.
• Parking/access: use public car parks; do not block gates, farmer access, or emergency routes.
• Leave no trace: pack out litter and keep noise low.
