Airfields & aerodromes by area
Scotland airfields and aerodromes
Scotland is some of the UK’s most memorable VFR flying: long coastlines, firths, lochs, glens and island hops. It is also demanding, with high terrain, fast-changing mountain weather and long gaps between easy diversion choices away from the Central Belt.
VFR area references
Scottish references worth briefing include:
- the Firths of Forth, Clyde, Tay, Solway and Moray
- Loch Lomond, Loch Ness, Loch Tay and the Great Glen
- Ben Nevis, the Cairngorms and Highland glens
- Skye, Arran, Orkney, Shetland and the Hebridean coastlines

Briefing snapshot
EGBO looks workable for a local VFR departure on the latest picture: surface wind is light, visibility is good, and no runway closure is highlighted in this snapshot. The main briefing item is the lighting serviceability notice, so plan a daylight arrival or confirm PAPI availability before committing. Cross-check the current METAR, TAF, and full NOTAM list before departure.
