WORKS WITHOUT SIGNAL Airfield information is kept on your phone, so it is still there when you're out at the hangar with no mobile signal. COMMUNITY-POWERED Spotted something out of date? Send a correction, add a missing airfield or aircraft type, or post a fly-in event. Every contribution is checked before it goes live, keeping the information accurate for everyone. FOR AIRFIELD OPERATORS Airfield operators can manage their own page, review and accept PPR requests, publish notices to pilots and see their inbound and outbound traffic. PPR and book-out forms can also be added to the airfield's own website. Free to use. Create an account with your email address to book PPR, use syndicates and save your favourites. British Airfields is a planning aid. Always check official sources, including the UK AIP and NOTAMs, and confirm details with the airfield before you fly.
