Eden Valley Model Aero Club

Eden Valley Model Aero Club location

Eden Valley Model Aero Club operate from a field in NE Cumbria, near to Kirkby Thore. The landing field centre is at NY 62452 25203 and they can use the field to the west. It is 4.8 miles on a bearing of 307 degrees from the centre of Appleby. The field and the flight radius are shown below.

Flying is available on all days of the week, and they will fly until dark. The normal maximum height above ground level is 400ft although this may be modified by NOTAM. They can operate model jet aircraft, and these can fly up to 150mph - so they are small and fast! When they fly jets, the pilot is accompanied by a spotter whose task is to look out for other aircraft. A large windsock is erected whenever they are flying. The runway is 400ft long so should be visible from the air. It would be best to avoid this area.
