Airfields & aerodromes by area
United Kingdom airfields and aerodromes
UK VFR flying changes quickly from clipped southern terminal areas and busy city corridors to open coast, uplands and island routes. It can be hugely rewarding, but the best days still need a careful weather, NOTAM and airspace pass before you commit.
VFR area references
Good UK-wide references to cross-check on chart and outside include:
- the Thames, Severn, Humber, Mersey and Dee estuaries
- The Wash, Solent, Bristol Channel and major firths
- the Lake District, Pennines, Eryri, Bannau Brycheiniog and Cairngorms
- large city edges and transport corridors around London, Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow and Belfast

Wise Assistant
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.
