Site update
Welcome to the new site. Visiting/Departing pilots; please book in/out using our NEW AIRFIELD LOGBOOK. We hope this will make things easier as the number of times I've personally taxi'd all the way and forgot to book out or booked out and then had to taxi back becase I'd forgot something is far too many to count!
Obviously, DON'T get distracted booking in/out or flying; make sure your aircraft
wont move!
Let us know if you have any suggestions for items on the new site.
Car Boot Sale
Please note that the car boot sale is not on for winter at the moment but keep an eye on our Facebook group for details of re-opening. As soon as the field dries up; we’re open for business!
Open Bank Holiday Monday as well as Sunday. Free camping! 🏕️ Weather forecast is looking absolutely perfect 🤩 😎
We look forward to seeing you here!
Well behaved dogs are welcome on a lead 🐕
Weather
I am hoping to set up a weather station sometime in the next few months to give live details on the airstrip
including wind speed, wind direction, temperature, humidity and pressure on the ground (QFE)
I may possibly include a webcam snapshot but that’s only if someone will let me use their WiFi on the site; otherwise it will use LoRa
to just update the basic parameters. Please
Donate
Please Note: This is just a test feed; the station is not set up at Chirk yet, it’s just the weather at my home

Ultralight Aviation Systems
Chirk Airfield is the home of Ultralight Aviation Systems; creator of the Rolls Royce of Sub70kg trikes. Not just the most sturdy trike we know of; being made from Titanium tubing, CNC machined brackets and lightweight suspension but due to being made from high end metals it is one of very few Sub70 trikes that can be flown with the fuel tank actually full – rather than just having a line drawn further down the tank saying “full” which will obviously encourage flying overweight: invalidating license and insurance”.
Sub70kg is a great class of machine where you don’t need a license to fly them! Obviously you’d be mad to jump in one and fly without training but with this class it’s the fastest, easiest and cheapest way to get into the air in an actual aircraft.
