Frequently Asked Questions
How many UK airfields are listed?
We currently list over 175 UK airfields, covering a comprehensive network of general aviation destinations across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Our database is continuously growing as we add new airfields and update existing information.
What information is available for each airfield?
For each airfield, you can find nearby restaurants, hotels, and attractions with detailed transport times (walking, public transport, and car). We also provide TripAdvisor ratings, contact information, and practical details to help you discover fly-out destinations.
Is the service free to use?
Yes, AirfieldFinder is completely free to use for all general aviation pilots. We're continuously improving the platform based on user feedback. Simply search for your departure airfield to start exploring destinations.
What weather data is available?
Each airfield shows real-time METAR and TAF data, flight condition indicators (VFR, MVFR, IFR, LIFR), and live webcams where available. Wind components are calculated per runway so you can quickly assess crosswind. If an airfield doesn't have its own weather station, we fall back to the nearest available METAR.
Can I save my aircraft details?
Yes. You can save multiple aircraft profiles with your cruise speed, minimum runway length, and surface preference. Once saved, destinations are automatically filtered to match your aircraft performance, so you only see airfields you can actually use.
How can I contribute?
Share rich tips with photos by category (runway ops, food, transport, scenery) to help the community build the highest-quality airfield information. You can also report data corrections and request missing airfields. Quality contributions earn points towards your profile.
