Arrival

Eshott Airfield can be considered challenging if it's your first time flying to us. The airfield has limited runway lengths that require a steeper approach than often desired. Phone for PPR on the day.

Fuelling

The airfield operates 09:00 - 19:00 on 7 days of the week. The airfield does not have runway lights for fixed wing aircraft night ops. Helicopters may operate in hours of darkness with PPR

Local Area

Like all sites, we have a number of noise sensitive areas. We would appreciate pilots adhering to the circuit map in the link below.

AIRFIELD INFORMATION

AT A GLANCE

Introduction

Eshott Airfield is a former Royal Air Force training base dating back to World War II. The site was home to 78 Spitfires, 5 Miles Magisters and a single Tiger Moth. Eshott Airfield is a busy environment for both training, commercial and recreational use.

Runways

The airfield makes use of two tarmac runways and a grass runway. Runway 19RH is preferred due to its 610m length and to allow all types a choice of tarmac or grass. We ask that all pilots do not make shallow approaches to the site - ensure that you are above 20ft at our boundary fences as the land around the airfield is often used by the public and our neighbours.

Noise Abatement

The airfield has a number of noise sensitive areas nearby. We ask that you please take a look at the SkyDemon plate which provides a good insight into the areas that you must avoid. The airfield where possible will use runway 19RH, as it also allows for a circuit away from noise sensitive areas.

Fuelling

Eshott Airfield offers AvGas 100LL and JetA1 FSII from 09:00 - 19:00. The airfield is able to cater for rotors running refuelling with advanced notice.
The airfield is able to fuel JetA1 FSII at up to 450 litres per minute.

Hangarage

Eshott Airfield provides outside parking or hangarage on request. Outside parking is charged at £10 per night, with hangarage prices ranging depending on aircraft size. If you need more information or are planning a trip and require hangarage on route, get in touch on 01670 787881.

Services

Eshott Airfield provides a number of on site services to assist pilots. In addition to our hangarage and fuelling, RS Aero Engineering provides aircraft maintenance for LAA and C of A types. RS Aero can be contacted via the airfield phone.
