With all the uncertainty facing many UK airfields, it’s cheering to hear of one that’s planning for the future. Cotswold Airport \u2013 Kemble to many of us \u2013 is pursuing a policy of developing its General Aviation facilities and businesses, and wants to attact more GA movements.<\/p>\n

The new airport manager, Christian Ackroyd, a resident GA pilot himself, has a five-year strategy to 1) streamline operational development, 2) diversify aviation activities and 3) deliver an adverse weather approach.<\/p>\n

Cotswold Airport is currently a VFR only airfield but it is working with the CAA to implement a GNSS LPV (GPS) approach to its 1,973m runway.<\/p>\n

“An IMC approach will support the current level of corporate jet movements and Category D large airliners whose fate is either to be salvaged for reusable components or recommissioning through Air Salvage International,” Christian told FLYER.<\/p>\n

“The airfield is FISO controlled and in open Class G airspace, thus deconfliction between aircraft on an approved approach and GA traffic is paramount to both safety and its GA development.”<\/p>\n

Despite the corporate and Cat D jet movements, “the heart of Cotswold Airport firmly remains with GA”. It supports three flight schools, commercial helicopter training and has the excellent AV8 restaurant.<\/p>\n

The Airport currently has an offer of a free hot drink from AV8 for visiting pilots who take at least 50 litres of fuel, which will run throughout the summer.<\/p>\n
