Pilot Comments for EGCB
Michael
Uncomplicated aerodrome with a slightly unusual approach, near the Manchester CTR. £20 landing fee for a C182.
AirfieldBot
Straightforward grass airfield on the edge of Manchester with a somewhat special approach close to the Manchester CTR. Overhead join is standard, with the join at 1500 feet; the ATZ extends into controlled airspace, so establish two-way contact with Barton Information before entering. Approaches and departures from/to the south use the Manchester Low Level Route under 1300 feet, with a listening watch on 118.575 (Manchester Approach). Mandatory SVFR procedures apply if cloud is less than 1000 feet above when using the Low Level Route; see AIP/NOTAM for further limitations. IFR departures are coordinated by Barton Information with Manchester Tower.
Landing fee example: about £20. Overnight parking example: about £20. Administration and payment are handled online, including mandatory online bookout before departure. Avgas (100LL), Jet A-1, and 91UL are available.
The airfield is lively on weekends, with a popular café that can have long waits for food. Taxi to Manchester costs about £20. Friendly staff and efficient flight information service make it a good choice for a stop in the region.
