MoD Rates for landing fees

[Curlytips]

Anyone know where these can be found?

Are they the same whatever station you land on?

Thinking of RNAS Yeovilton near future.....

Many thanks for any advice.

Why not ring them and ask. They'll also be able to tell you whether they would allow it, what the PPR procedure involves and how likely they are to shoot you for target practice when you attempt it...

Of course. It's a flyout from our local field that is planned, so we already have procedures, permission and a guarantee of non-aggression .

But looking at my various flight guides, they all quote (for all military fields) "MoD rates" - so somewhere there must be a list, but surfing hasn't brought it up.

Someone cleverer than me should know?......

Its usually the insurance you have to carry that's the issue not the landing fee.

I'm not sure if it's up to date, but this document quotes a minimum fee of £18+VAT

[Curlytips]

Thanks Mark 1. Can't find a more up to date version, so probably right. Not a bad rate, but notice parking over 2 hours is another £16.50 plus VAT for 24 hours. So even with Crown Indemnity on my insurance, I'd be in for £41.50 before admission charges to museum (£14?). I can buy a lot of Avgas for that.......

Last time I landed at Woodvale it was about £35. And that was 10 years ago.
You are in for a shock!

May be useful to know how they want payment too. Doubt they will have credit card facilities at MoD. :-)

The last organised fly out to an MOD base that I went on earlier this year the fees were waived.

[Curlytips]

Wish that were the case, but organisers tell me there is a price for under 1000kg and over 1000kg, so we are into about £40 and admission to the museum on top. Need to get some cost-sharers on board 😕

(Anyone interested, Rochester to Yeovilton, September 13th!)......

I would have been but, tis the wrong Rochester, for me.

Council Van - that's really unfair!

How can you leave us hanging like that?

More information needed and where do I join?

That sounds about right, I recall paying around £45 in total for Yeovilton back in 2014. IIRC it was £18 landing fee (C172), £16.50 parking for 24 hours and around £10 indemnity administration.

Yes, you might be able to buy a load of AVGAS for that, but the trip is worthwhile.

Oh, just a tip. In case you land there reasonably early and get through the museum by (e.g.) 1pm, take a cab over to the Haynes Motor Museum. It's about 7 minutes by taxi from the Fleet Air Arm museum, well worth a visit....

DO NOT walk on the grass at Yeovilton.

"Man overboard".

We had a club outing to Cosford a few years ago. There was a landing fee of some odd figure like £11.75 plus a parking fee of another pounds and pence figure. Then they only took cash and had very little change in their cash box. So, about a dozen aircraft were in our party and they had to process each one separately, take cash, give change, hand write receipt per aircraft. Yawn. After one or two were processed they couldn't provide the correct change. Then someone asked about training flights which apparently qualify for a 75% discount and a new figure was produced for landing but the same figure for parking was added making another odd pounds and odd pence total for which they still could not produce the correct change. By the time we had worked out and lent each other the unpaid change to make the RAF cashbox total correct we had lost about an hour of our visit time. Raid all of your children's piggy banks before you go!
