Pilot reviews of Land's End Airfield

“Visited Lands End again with my daughter in our Cirrus, the first Cirrus to visit Lands End. Great service and value again. This airfield should be on your must visit list as the views over the coast are spectacular, and if you want to stay over there are plenty of good value B&B's.”

“Do not rely on the TAFS for weather here, it has its own climate and can be socked in suddenly. Very friendly airfield, limited parking, ppr essential if you want to overnight. All the grass between runways is taxiable. Self service fuel is easy.There is engineering on site if something breaks. Small cafe in the mini terminal serves snacks and drinks. (soft), coffee etc. ”

“after a check flight with matthew in golf papa charlie i took my daughter up for a ride around st ives bay,michaels mount,stunning views wherever we looked,it really is a must see and do place to visit.used runway 25 into a 240/16 breeze,gpc was up in no time,airfield a little hard to spot so eyeball it well before leaving the area,the flashing strobe light on the control tower is easy to spot if looking in the right place.great place,fantastic views,will be back ”

“I flew into Lands End from North Weald on Monday 12th May, the viz was not brilliant but you cannot hide the fantastic scenery and rugged coastline. we approched down the South cost and departed along the North coast. The flight was quite long, two hours twenty there and three hours back, but well worth the effort, The wind was ever changeable while we were there which gave us some concerns about getting airborn, three up and 3/4 full tanks on 700 meters but we made it easily. The sandwhich was reasonable, the reception was good, I think we need to support these more remote airfields. Were I to go again I think I would do it as part of a longer flight to the Scillies and stay over as at over five hours flying it was hard on the bum”

“When you visit, get a lift down to St.Just and buy a pasty from McFadden and Sons Butchers (SW 36 31

Market Square, St Just 01736 788136)

for the best Cornish Pasty you'll eat. I used to fly for Skybus, and still miss 'em.

“Not a very good airport to see from the air, but the welcome is very warm. Nice people.”

“Visited twice over the weekend. Wonderful location, and all the staff were so friendly and helpful, remember to phone beforehand. Well worth a visit and value for money landing fee £10 for a PA32”

“this has got to be a must go place the most westerly point of the uk where you can fly over both the noth and south cornish coast at nearly the same time. the views are amasing and to drive there would take hours to fly is the way, have been there twice in the summer and the winter.

there arer three grass runways long and wide be carefull of the hill to the east on take off in the summer when the air is hot and the pressure low as it looms up quickly.

i would say that a tent in the summer and a little camping would be wonderfull there. the nearby towns and beaches being easily to get to especially with a couple of folding bikes. or on foot.
