crossland moor
Hi to all, i live very close to crossland moor and have flown in several times.
I believe it was originally built for the owner of David Brown tractors which is located close by.
The most recent owners to my knowledge are the Huddersfield Aviation Ltd, they are very inviting to all pilots alike.
There is a portacabin/static caravan full of tea/coffee/cans of pop and other light snacks ( there is an honesty box for beverages and landing fees ).
The runway is 550m asphalt , 250m grass, dimension 800x22,it no longer has lighting.
Runways 25,07.
825 ft amsl
128.375 a/g
Rwy 07 gradient-2.6% Down from start of Asphalt
Whenever possible land and take off from Rwy 25
Land as soon as possible on Rwy 07.
Left hand circuits at 100 ft aal.
Look out for Emley moor tv mast 1924 ft amsl, 6 nm east.
Also holme moss tv mast 2490 ft amsl, 5 nm south
Radio masts 1614 ft amsl, 2.5nm to nw.
Avoid low flying over houses and hospital0.5 nm from threshold of Rwy 25.
Cossland has a large reservoir situated about 1 nm to the south and has quarry workings at the end and sides of runway 25, it is well worth a visit for the novelty , great pennine views ,cheap landing fees ( £2 single ,£5 twin )and of course good pubs for fantastic food such as the Sands House pub just a short walk away( left at the bottom of the drive and follow the road to the end, pub is on the right , it serves good wholesome dishes at reasonable prices )
Hope this helps
