LYDD IS £15.60 LANDING FEE FOR CHEROKEE AND SIMILAR--AS FAR AS I KNOW.

[Peter Pan]

It's more expensive to land at Farnborough than Luton!?

Farnborough have a planning limit on the number of movements, so they price it accordingly.

All the prices above are for IFR arrivals - approach charges included

Gloucester's would now be £24.99 due to changes in the scale of charges effective 1stApril

[chevvron]

Fairoaks £10 for up to 1000kg MTOW (plus VAT). I've suggested an extra 'break' at 500kg which is 'being considered'.
Parking is charged for overnight only £12.50 plus VAT so you can land at 8am and stay to 6pm (or indeed 7am to 10pm in daylight) without incurring parking charges.
By the way there IS a flying club at Farnborough but I'm not sure if they can 'handle' visitors nowadays. It certainly used to happen, and any movement would not be included as 'TAG Aviation' traffic as it would not be handled by the FBO, hence it would not be covered by the limit laid down in the planning conditions.

Southampton is not mandatory FBO for a daytime visit - handling is by Southampton Operations +44 (0)2380 627 102.
Operations will advise on exact charges but expect about a quarter of that quoted in the Price League table.

Interesting: Norwich is way up there.......

I wonder what the charges for the Arrer would be (MTOW 1202Kg.

As per my response on the other thread, Norwich now £30.00 + vat (up from £20.00). So if other charges have stayed the same it is £47.00 + vat total.

I think they have done away with the <tonne charging band, so I expect that is what you would pay in your aircraft.

Doesn't Prestwick Flight Centre still administer GA? They were a lot less than Ocean Sky.

James,

let me say thank you for the enourmously helpful work you are doing with this compilation!

[EddieHeli]

I thought EASA had outlawed mandatory handling for GA - or was I dreaming (wishful thinking)
