What airfields can be used for CPL training?

[Okavango]

Is there any limitation or service that needs to be available for airfields used for CPL training? I'm assuming the start and end of a lesson have to be at approved airfield operations, though is it possible to use other airstrips mid-lesson? Just asking as I have a landing account at a local grass strip where there's no CPL training, but it would be good to use for PFL's to completion and circuits if possible from a nearby FTO.

It's training towards a licence, so would conventionally require a licensed airfield, although check the recent rules on allowing training out of unlicensed airfields.

Is there any limitation or service that needs to be available for airfields used for CPL training? All CPL training must be conducted from the aerodrome that is nominated in the approval. That means that all briefings must be conducted at that location using the approved Flight Ops Accomodation. Flights may be conducted to other aerodromes though the suitabilty of a grasss strip is somewhat marginal even if it meets the JAA requirement for suitable aerodromes. AERODROMES
27 The base aerodrome, and any alternative base aerodrome, at which flying training is being conducted shall have at least the following facilities:
(a) at least one runway or take-off area that allows training aeroplanes to make a normal take-off or landing at the maximum take-off or maximum landing mass authorised, as appropriate,
(i) under calm wind (not more than four knots) conditions and temperatures equal to the mean high temperature for the hottest month of the year in the operating area,
(ii) clearing all obstacles in the take-off flight path by at least 50 feet,
(iii) with the powerplant operation and the landing gear and flap operation (if applicable) recommended by the manufacturer, and
(iv) with a smooth transition from lift-off to the best rate of climb speed without exceptional piloting skills or techniques;
(b) a wind direction indicator that is visible at ground level from the ends of each runway;
(c) adequate runway electrical lighting if used for night training; and
(d) an air traffic control service except where, with the approval of the Authority, the training requirements may be satisfied safely by another means of air/ground communications.
