Snowdonia Aerospace Test Centre

AS the UK’s unique civilian aerospace test centre with the NOTAM activated EG D217 airspace complex it is not available to GA for most of the year principally due to RPAS flying.

PPR for visiting Company traffic and aircraft wanting Aerovolt aircraft re-charging must be obtained from the Aerodrome Manager.

PPR online may be available to GA at times published on this page. This might be for special flying events and or AFISO training. Please see Pooley’s or VFR Flight Guide for plates.

While the Test Centre is closed to GA it is important to note that it can remain open for Company traffic and based operators who will have had individual briefing and permission for each flight.
