Pilot reviews of Plymouth City Airport

“Visited EGHD on 12/12/07 very friendly to GA. Ground crew told us they are trying to encourage GA traffic even put chocks under for us and on asking about a meal suggested a local pub about 1/2 mile away with an alternate snack in the Flying Club. We opted for the pub meal at The Jackrabbit A shame we missed Jon Yorke with NCFC Also great service from Cardiff and Exeter Radar, I was really impressed with Cardiff when asked to climb and maintain 6000 for seperation with Fokker 100 taking off below. Landed back at Wolves for a night landing (1700) Altogether a great day out which stretched my flying”

“Excellent regional airport, which hasn't forgotten or tried to discourage GA traffic. Nice low landing fee as well !”

“I have visited Plymouth City a few times during my training and I had to land there on my solo cross country. I found all the staff extremely helpful and friendly. This was the first 'Big' airfield I had visited but they made the transition very easy. ”

“Went to plymouth today - very nice area to over fly, the edge of Devon and Cornwall with the sound and the hoe etc. Airport small on a large scale commercial airport as a result friendly and help full. Would recommend it as a destination. A little confusing in finding someone to pay; a little more GA orientated would make a super place to visit”

“Currently doing my PPL at EGHD (Plymouth aka Roborough). Not been to many other aerodromes so haven't seen have much for comparison. During the week it can be moderately busy with a mixture of scheduled and training aircraft as well as police, military and air ambulance flights. The weekend tends to be quieter. ATC is always helpful as are the staff at the flying school. Airport is next to main Plymouth hospital and about 5 miles from the city centre, Barbican and Hoe. However, it is not really geared up for GA use and landing/parking are not cheap.”
