Airfield rules
- Pilots make a landing at the airfield on the understanding that it is an Unlicensed Aerodrome and there are neither Air Traffic Control or Flight Information Service facilities, nor Rescue or Fire Fighting Services available.
- Aircraft must be covered by insurance in accordance with EC Regulation 785/2004. Evidence of insurance cover must be provided to us on request, and any failure to have in place insurance automatically invalidates permission to land.
- All local regulations should be observed and NOTAMs and AIP Supplements should be consulted prior to every flight.
- We reserve the right to close the Aerodrome to categories of aircraft, established on a risk based approach.
- A request to confirm private flight status must be confirmed, in a reasonable period no longer than 4 weeks, upon request by us.
- Pilots are advised that all operations and movements are at their own risk and discretion and they accept full responsibility for their own and others safety for the duration of their visit.
- PPR is required for all aircraft that have not been issued a landing card. PPR can be obtained by emailing Info.Aerodromes@highland.gov.uk
- Permitted hours of operation are between 0800 hours local time (or 30 minutes after sunrise, whichever is later) to 2200 hours (or 30 minutes before sunset, whichever is sooner).
- Aircraft may only be taxied on approved runways and taxi ways.
- Aircraft must be parked so as not to obstruct the taxi ways or apron, including the helicopter landing area. Light aircraft should be parked in designated areas.
- A virtual log book will be used to to advise arrival or departure times within 48 hours of the departure date by emailing Info.Aerodromes@highland.gov.uk. Aircraft operating with a landing card must provide log book details no later than one week in arrears.
- Aircraft over 2.73 tonnes will not be issued annual landing cards, instead will pay a landing fee and a parking fee where appropriate (see schedule of fees).
- Pilots or owners must pay the relevant landing and parking fees within 14 days of the landing. The preferred method of payment is debit, card, credit card or BACS. For more information refer to our landing fees.
- No camping is allowed at the Aerodrome.
- In order to encourage continuous improvement of safety of our airfields pilots and others can raise matters where a negative impact on the safe operation of the airfields has been observed. These can be reported by submitting an email with the subject ‘Confidential airstrip safety report’ to Info.Aerodromes@highland.gov.uk
