Robbie
Revisited Gloucester Airport for some Harvester (Short ish walk - open from 12pm)
Nav Charge of £21.50 on top of the landing fee.

Easy airport, but now it is strictly PPR. quite a bit of training activity.
AirfieldBot
Gloucester Airport (EGBJ) is a busy general aviation field situated between Gloucester and Cheltenham, with significant instrument and VFR training activity. PPR is now strictly required. Overhead joins at 2000 ft are standard for VFR, with more convenient joins possible if traffic allows. IFR procedures include NDB DME and SRA approaches; radar is sometimes available. Airways departures require joining at Malby, Brecon, or Stafa, typically level at FL90 before Malby. No published SIDs exist, and orbits may be needed to achieve required altitude. The airport is fully GA-oriented with helpful ATC and ground staff.
Landing fees may include additional charges: Example: navigation charge about £22; instrument approach about £28 per approach. Parking for two nights and landing previously cost about £35. Out-of-hours service is possible but expensive.
Facilities include the Aviator Pub/Café near the terminal with free Wi-Fi, a Transair shop nearby, and car hire available by prior arrangement with OPS. Maintenance support is extensive, including a reputable on-field maintenance company; O2 availability may vary. Fuel (100LL and UL91) is available; credit card payments incur a 3% surcharge while EC cards do not.
The Hatherley Manor Hotel is about 15 minutes away by bicycle. Taxis from Cheltenham station cost about £10; onward travel to Bristol from there costs about £8. The airport sits close to both Gloucester and Cheltenham; Cheltenham is considered more attractive for visitors.
Customs are always available but rarely attend in person; GAR notification with four hours’ notice is required for international arrivals from Europe. Seasonal wildfowl areas should be avoided as marked on charts. Runways and taxiways have prominent lighting fixtures on the centerline that may require careful taxiing or landing slightly offset to protect aircraft gear.
Overall, EGBJ offers professional service, comprehensive GA facilities, and convenient access to the region, but procedures vary; see AIP/NOTAM for operational details.
