Are you two NZ folks even reading the posts? For everyone saying you can't do something, there are several people pointing out that it is nonsense.
Yep been reading all the posts, it's pretty hard to sort the wheat from the chaff. It seems from reading most posts, Closed doesn't really mean closed at all just ring up the owner to get permission to land - is it open or closed or just open to approved pilots?
NO. A "closed airfield" in the uk means whatever the operator wants it to.
Then you get this
It is common for an airfield to be closed - no fuel, no food, no maintenance, no office to pay landing fee
So is it facility related? JohnM clears that up in post #66. This makes sense
The point people don't seem to get, why is a mystery, is that closure and openness have nothing to do with facilities. It's to do with what the owner of the field has decided.
