Stoke Golding Airfield

Location: N52°34.805 W001°25.880 (Garmin)

Runways: 08/26 525 metres x 25 metres grass

Circuits: 800' on QFE. 26 RH, 08 LH to avoid over flying Stoke Village and early right turnout on 26 departures to avoid farm 1/2 mile on climb out

Altitude: 300' AMSL

Identifier: 1nM NE Nuneaton VRP on 1/2 mill chart

VOR: HON 040 16 TNT 165 30

AG Frequency: 119.250 MHz

Callsign: 'STOKE GOLDING RADIO'

Landing fees to cover diesel for the tractor and mower are £5 for singles and £3 for weightshift jockeys! Twins, multi's, jets and shuttles please call for rates.

The radio is not always manned but always call  to advise of your presence, position and intentions for other aircraft  that may be approaching.

Large RC model aircraft fly regularly at the field so a conventional circuit with a downwind leg is important. The modellers are very professional and will land immediately and clear the runway. We also have control line models operating off to the right hand side of the 26 approach before the threshold. Again these guys are perfectly safe and will land or lower their circuits when you appear in the overhead. Just avoid the temptation to 'cut the corner off' on downwind/base/finals for 26RH as this will put you right over their heads! Likewise when departing on 08LH, comply with normal circuit procedure and climb to 500' before commencing a crosswind turn to the left.
