Culdrose???
 
So, can one land there??

It's shown on the map as "available for civil use, see AD 1-1-1", but that points to AD 1-3 and Culdrose is not in the list in AD 1-3. (Culdrose is listed in Pooleys as available for civil use.)

Am I misreading the AIP, or is the AIP right and the map and Pooleys both wrong??

(Yes I know I could just ring them up in the morning, but I wouldn't mind an answer today if anyone knows!)

Yes you can. Just telephone operations and they will give you all the gen. I think that you may have to give them 24hrs notice and they are closed from lunch time Friday to Monday morning.

AFE says to ask nicely 24 hours in advance :)

Yes you can, we land there occasionally. But don't try it on floats, although it's a Navy station they've only got tarmac ;)

They are very helpful, landing fee is usual MOD rates on weight. Make sure you Gen up on military "speak" and weather codes.

It is a VERY busy station so be sure of your position and prepared to hold.

Taxi to Helston is about 8 quid.

:) :D :) Yes, I do know what's there, I've spent many weeks in Helston, visiting in-laws.

Best source for this? - I have read various stuff but ... er ... can't quite remember all of it or where I read it.

Nope, free ride from father in law.
