Landing Charge Rebates - Only Available if full payment is made prior to final departure or approved credit facilities have been agreed. A) Visiting Aircraft on Training Flights First landing - full rate, Subsequent landings - 50% discount (only applies to aircraft operating within 15nm after 1st landing). B) Safety-related Diversionary Landing (AOPA Scheme). The Council is prepared to consider requests for waiver of charges from a General Aviation (GA) pilot who makes a general safety-related diversionary landing. This waiver only applies to domestic GA traffic. Assessment of the waiver will be carried out by the senior Airport Officer on duty. The council reserves the right to opt out of the AOPA scheme at any time subject to three month's notice being given to AOPA by the council. Eligibility for waiver will be based on the same criteria as for a light aircraft landing fee. i.e. private flight in accordance with Schedule 1 of the ANO 2016. Flying Clubs, The council may negotiate agreements for reduced landing charges for flights made for the purpose of the clubs at an airport but not flights made for hire or reward outside the normal range or scope of club activities. These charges will increase on an annual basis - as a minimum - by the agreed Council Inflation Rate. |
