Deanland do welcome visitors or at least i havent had a problem but i agree a da40 is not the aircraft to visit in.
I called in recently and the guy refused us access in an airplane that has a ground roll of 900 feet at max gross. Het kept ranting about accidents and running off the runway incidents etc...They also refuse microlights, which made the bracket of aircraft they allow there a bit puzzling to me.
But hey, it's their airfield, so if they only allow pink underpants wearing PA-28 pilots, I can live with that...
No weight-shift Microlights, Grumman AA-5/Cheetah, Falco, SOCATA Trinidad, Tobago, Tampico - No twin-engined aircraft.
