Strict PPR is required, with a strong emphasis on following all safety and security procedures; high-visibility vests must be worn on the apron, and movement is only allowed on marked green paths. The airport is closed on Sundays. GNSS approaches exist for both ends of the two tarmac runways (07/25 at 693m and 16/34 at 784m), but only runway 07 is generally available; check NOTAMs for current status. Parking is on grass, with good drainage, and landing fees are reasonable. Example: landing fee about £20. Example: parking about £10. Payment for self-service fuel is made inside after noting the amount taken.
The terminal building is modern and pleasant. Car hire is available in Penzance (not on site), about 20 minutes away by taxi or pre-booked minibus; taxi fares to St. Ives or Penzance are around £45 and £20 respectively. Bus stops are directly outside the terminal, with connections to local destinations including St. Ives and Land's End; day tickets are available for local bus routes.
Border Police may be present on arrival, and customs procedures require strict adherence to instructions given during PPR confirmation; for certain arrivals (e.g., from Isle of Man), a GAR must be sent to project.pegasus@devonandcornwall.pnn.police.uk in advance. Procedures vary; see AIP/NOTAM.
The airport is suitable for non-commercial general aviation, with friendly staff and helpful ATC, but strict compliance with all operational rules is essential to maintain GA access.
