Landing off airfield in the UK?

[JasonB]

Hello everyone,

So just moved to the UK last year and starting to fly again. Flying club/school rules not withstanding, what are the rules/procedures/recommendations if one wants to land at a pub or hotel in the UK for lunch etc?

What about landing on private land?

Thanks, -Jason

Pub / hotel - PPR usually the norm, and good practice out of courtesy anyway. (There's also the safety factor of speaking to a local to check on do's & don'ts, areas to avoid, etc). Also useful to check if they charge landing fees!

Private land - ditto the above. I generally also aim to get written / email confirmation of permission too..... Just to cover oneself!!!

Thanks for the reply. That's what I thought.

No trespassing laws in Scotland, but Farmer Bloggs will probably just shoot you instead.

PPR on all landing sites is the bet way to keep yourself out of trouble.

I inadvertently stumbled across this site the other day... while not strictly on topic (i.e. legality etc) it may nevertheless give you a few suggestions of places to visit.
