Beautiful walled town( near but not the same as Dinard) about 3 miles from the airfield. You may well get a lift in from one of the aero club members. Great place to take the lady for brownie points.

Hethel, Norfolk, has now been recognised as not existing and has been stripped of its ICAO code - EGSK. (See Hey, 'they' listen and act, story , 03 07 09, in General Aviation). It has been on the chart as an active airfield but was actually turned...

For the last 6 years or so I have used Niederrhein as pied a terre for flights to the Dutch/German border area near Nijmegen.

Niederrhein is an old RAF base (Laarbruch) which has regular flights from Ryanair but contrary to what may happen at other...

Super little airport in the Jura. 1000m hard runway, 1500 ft elev. Towered with a small CTR, close to Bern. Customs (without goods etc.) without notice, despite AIP entry to the contrary. Landing and associated fees came to about GBP 35 for a light...

We chose this as a "new place to go" on the way back from Salzburg, and were delighted.

It has a good size tarmac runway - big enough for 737s: Ryanair call there (but I have no idea what they call it).

There are two VRPs - East and West...

Any info/tips about what there is to do on a day trip to Le Mans?

If Carlsberg did flying then today was it. Aircraft was ready after its 50. Decided to pick it up and take a slight detour back to base via Coll.

Whilst at Dundee ATC were heard to congratulate a student on first solo.

If you're visiting Madrid, you need customs and Avgas and you weigh less than 4000kgs this is where you're going.

2279ft amsl, notified as a VFR only airport, you can fly in and out IFR providing it is carried out in VMC - highly important due to...

Lovely GA airfield about 9 miles from Dublin town centre.

Take some time to familiarise yourself with the "Weston Route" (download the Dublin visual approach chart from the the airfield website or the AIP). On contact with Dublin...

The alphabetical list of airfields is a bit broken
it was fine yesterday
perhaps it'll be fine tomorrow?

Visited Itzehoe today. Has two runways at roughly 90 degrees to each other, one is grass in a fairly rough condition and the other a part Tarmac, part grass. Although there is a control tower at one side of the airfield this seems to be disused, but...

Posted this in the wrong section, now relocated!

Thanks to some advice and friendly help from the flyer forums, I recently rented a 172 out of Uetersen Airfield. Since i've been out here in Hamburg with work, i've been itching to fly, but a bit...

Little Rissington is located on top of a small ridge in the Cotswolds at an altitude of some 750’ and is due east of Gloucestershire Airport and just to the north of the Brize zone. It is very easy to find from all directions. It was used in WW2 and...

This is a very handy airport a few miles north west of Buffalo International and is just outside the Buffalo Intl Class C airspace. It is very handy as an airport to use to fly the Niagara Falls scenic route a mere four or five miles to the west....

Can you add landing fees to your sticky on fuel prices, it would be beneficial to all to know both for comparison

Easy access from Glenforsa. We took the coward's way around the North of Mull on the way out, and took a look at Staffa and Fingal's Cave on the way back.

Good choice of runways.

No fuel. Oban is probably the nearest.

There's no trees on...

I don't want to enrage the Moderators as this is not a commercial post and I am not seeking to promote one Airfield over another, but it might be helpful if fellow pilots could post on this thread so a database of AVGAS prices is slowly built up and...

Hope to visit this tear --if poss--PPR.
Does anyone know length/ direction of runway--looks like a cirrus can get in and out.!

One of the problems with flying away somewhere is what to do when you get there.

Places like Sherburn and Compton Abbas offer excellent eating facilities on the airfield but going off airfield often results in a substantial taxi fare.

Landed here and parked overnight for two nights in August 2008. This is a very hand y airport for seeing downtown New York, especially if you are approaching from the north along the line of the VOR’s or following the Hudson River.

Rockcliffe airfield is pretty much in downtown Ottawa literally on the southern shore of the Ottawa river. There is only one flying club based there, namely the Rockcliffe Flying Club. They are based to the north of the only runway, oriented 09/27...

Massena is just across the Canada / St Lawrence border almost opposite Cornwall (in Canada) and as such, it is a really good place to clear US customs if inbound from Canadian airfields, like Kingston, Ottawa or Montreal.

As part of a flying trip in August 2008, I flew from Niagara International (USA) to Toronto City Airport, along the shore of Lake Ontario past Hamilton. On paper, this may look a bit daunting, with lowering concentric circles of Class C controlled...

There are two main airports used by GA in Ottawa, this is one of them. It is the main international airport for Ottawa, but has a GA runway runway aligned 04/22 towards the north-west of the airport that is used exclusively by GA.

Our first visit. Nice day, not much traffic, surprising number of spotters.

Nipped across the A303 to Heston's Little Chef for lunch - very good; my braised ox cheek was delicious and his suet crust steak and ale pie was fab.

Landing fee was a...
