I question how many unstable approahces and consequently how mnay bad and potentially dangerous landings occur in the UK becuase of not wanting to pay the 'approach charge'.
Probably none. £8.72 isn't all that significant compared to the cost of air time in the subsequent circuit.
Aside from small grass strips, there are some airfields with a yearly membership that covers all landing and circuit fees. It's something I'm always mindfull of when I consider flying somewhere new now, having paid £22 to land C152s at Biggin in the past!
Personally I think flying in the US has spoilt you! So suck it up princess!
We need a revolution.
This IS what we need!
