I have been investigating the possibility of making use of one of the unique
capabilities of the Europa, namely its trailerability, to operate from my
nearest airfield, which happens to be a major one in Class D airspace. After
many phone calls and having been passed from ATC to Admin to handling agents
etc., I have yet to get a definitive answer as to what charges might be
levied on an aircraft which would only occupy tarmac for a few minutes. (I
have in mind that the car and trailer would be removed to the club carpark
outside the airfield boundary).
I may have to pluck up courage and just drive through the gates and do it.
Anyone else put a toe into this water ?
