Pilot’s feedback

This is a small airport, with only one agent. We used this airport for fuel stop, and agent picked up our passengers, so they could stretch their legs and use the toilet. Agent met us at the airplane with a car, and was very service minded. They also arranged with newspapers for us on our way home. Agent can send Invoice or you can pay with VISA Card at the location. Landing fees are very low (50 €), and the same for the handling agent. Highly recommended for fuel stop, for those who acquire that on a long flight from southern Spain, up to Scandinavia or so.

Pilot’s feedback

This is a small airport, with only one agent. A new terminal is under construction, and will be done January 2011.
Agent has very service minded staff, which are extremely helpful. The books crew hotel, organizes rental car for passengers, forwards catering requests and so on. A good advice is to give agent a call after you’ve send e-mail, and make sure they’ve understands what you require. Everything has to be payed with VISA Card- agent takes you to office for landing fees and for catering, so don’t worry. Also have to pay with VISA Card to the Fuel Service on the apron when refuelling. Price is average: 170-180 € for handling fees included landing fees.
Recommended agent!

You will need to get an PPR from Station Operation Center. Give them a early call, and have all information ready. Your PPR will not be granted until they got the information they need. (Passport, copy of AOC, incuranse etc) They are wery friendly and helpfull. It may be a idea to give them a call, if you don`t get an reply on your e-mail.

If its your first flight to Lyneham, maybe a ferry flight from another airport nearby. Be well prepared, as always. Some times when flying in this area, to minor airports like Oxford and Lyneham, you can some times unexpected be “left on your own”, with traffic information only. I have experienced this a couple of times, when first contact with radar, after receiving the expected IFR clearance on ground, you will not be cleared to enter controlled airspace. If you got this in mind, you will be familiar with the procedures you can expect, so you can keep an eye out! This is a normal way to do it in many places i UK.
