Emergency Diversions in the UK
The considerable task of persuading aerodrome
owners to accept Recommendation 9.29(c) was taken up by the UK Aircraft
Owners and Pilots Association [AOPA], and in particular by Charles Strasser,
Chairman, AOPA Channel Isles. After more than 5 years of non-stop lobbying by
Charles Strasser, almost all UK aerodrome owners, including the Ministry of
Defence, agreed to accept the recommendation and not to charge GA aircraft
for genuine diversions. The GA community recognises the considerable
improvement to Flight Safety provided by the aerodrome owners and by the
years of devoted work by Charles Strasser. This page lists the civil and
military aerodromes in the UK that have agreed to waive charges, by region.
The tables below list the participating aerodromes
within the United Kingdom airspace. These tables have been divided so as to
show airfields that are situated: Between 53°30’N and 55°30’N (Northern England, Northern Ireland and Southern Scotland) North of 55°30’N (the rest
of Scotland and the Outer Isles) These divisions are intended to assist pilots with
their preflight planning. They relate airfields that have accepted the
recommendation in CAP 667 reasonably closely to the area covered by an
up-to-date aeronautical chart. An up-to-date chart is a vital flight planning
tool. An out-of-date chart is one of the most useless things to
carry in any aircraft. It is suggested that pilots highlight these airfields on
their planning chart so as to be aware of suitable emergency diversions along
their planned route. Of course it will still be necessary to look at
operating times and frequencies (for those with radio) as part of the
planning process.
