Bembridge Airport, on the Isle of Wight, believes there is some confusion over its operating times and PPR procedures since BN Group stopped managing the Airport last year. The airfield is now managed by Vectis Gliding Club and is open seven days a week and PPR is required on weekdays only, not on weekends and Bank Holidays.

Details are available on www.vectisglidingclub.co.uk where a facility is provided to obtain PPR by email, or pilots can telephone 01983 873051 at any time to book in. It is also possible to ring 07770 228852 between 0900 and 1700 for airfield information and PPR.

On weekends and Bank Holidays ‘Bembridge Radio’, our A/G service (123.25) is operational from 09.30 to 16.30 with movements permitted outside these hours on a PPR basis.
