Civil Airfield Old Sarum (EGLS)

Old Sarum (EGLS) is a grass airfield known for a friendly, welcoming atmosphere and professional operations, with a maintained grass runway. The airfield sits within the Boscombe Down MATZ; when Boscombe is active, VFR entry and exit are from the south via Alderbury. Parachuting activity is frequent, requiring adherence to special procedures. There are no instrument approach procedures at Old Sarum, but Boscombe Down LARS may provide cloud-break or allow ILS/PAR approaches to Boscombe Down, followed by a short VFR hop to Old Sarum.

Facilities include a small museum and a restaurant on the field. Accommodation assistance is available at the counter, and taxis to Salisbury cost around £8. Salisbury is nearby and considered worth visiting; Stonehenge lies about 5 NM north of the airfield.

Example: landing fee about €15. Parking outdoors and other fees may apply. Procedures vary; see AIP/NOTAM.
