Fife Flying Club - Request for Help.

Fife Council has a planning permission request for 5 wind farms which will seriously affect the viability of operations at Fife Airport.


We would encourage anyone interested to visit the web page below and note their objection. Alternatively they can write in hard copy to the council. As fellow aviators it is crucial that any airfield is protected, regardless of how often you may visit that airfield.

Airfields are disappearing too fast in this country!

You can submit your objection here:

You can also view the airfield here:

Well unfortunately it's that time of year again, and it seems that there has been a dramatic change in the weather of late, so it's time to remind everyone of steps we can all take to ensure we have a safe winter flying season.  The CAA have released a reminder leaflet which is available here: http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/ga_srg_09webSSL03October.pdf so go take a look. 

As a quick reminder, print out the information below and take it with you

  • Stay out of icing conditions for which the aircraft has NOT been cleared.
  • Note freezing level in the aviation weather forecast. Don’t go unless the aircraft is equipped for the conditions.
  • Have warm clothing available for pre-flight and in case of heater failure or forced landing.
  • Mud, snow and slush will lengthen take-off and landing runs. Work out your distances.
  • Remove all frost, ice and snow from the aircraft – there is no such thing as a little ice.
