Airfield & Pilot Information

PPR is ESSENTIAL for ALL visiting aircraft

This is because Hunsdon is INSIDE the Stansted CTR & operates under a Letter Of Agreement (LOA) with NATS. A condition of the LOA is that visiting pilots obtain PPR & a briefing. Do NOT land at Hunsdon unless you have positive permission from a club officer (on the number below or see the contacts page) - leaving a message on an answerphone is NOT sufficient, even if you are familiar with the airfield & have landed there before.

Call 07548 543561 for PPR

Visitors landing fee is £2

Pilots should note the approach map & notes as follows:-

NOTES:-

ALL approaches from the South @ max. 900' AMSL (set altimeter to Stansted QNH), or 650' above airfield level (QFE = Stansted QNH - 9 mb). Check Stansted ATIS 127.175

NO training circuits by non-club students

Avoid pink hatched areas

Do NOT EVER fly East of the power lines running North/South along the Eastern edge of the airfield, or North of Marshland Wood, due to Stansted CTR.

Remain clear of Hunsdon to the West, Hunsdonbury & all settlements. Glide descents whenever possible.

Broadcast intentions "blind" on 129.825 MHz.

If transponder equipped, squawk 7010 with Mode C (if fitted) - this tells Essex Radar you will be operating in to / out of Hunsdon.

Note tight circuit patterns (ref. points in YELLOW) & please use them - high performance microlights may find final approaches to 08 & 32 challenging!
