Kittyhawk Aerodrome is located 12km / 7.5miles / 6.5nm directly north of the Seaford (SFD) VOR-DME.

Visiting aircraft PICs (Pilot In Command) must file a PPR* prior to arrival and arrive/depart in VFR day hours (SR-30m / SS+30m) with exceptions for certain helicopter traffic, subject to runway status advisory & safe weather conditions.

Please be courteous to our neighbours – do not fly over local houses / villages, making best efforts to fly circuit patterns accurately.

ADVISORY (2025 update): We experience wind-shear on RWY 28 Short Final with a south-westerly wind component, due to the presence of large trees adjacent to the threshold (we have made efforts to reduce effects by topping & thinning branches for the 2025 flying season). Please note we do have a long, wide and forgiving RWY 16/34 available for use.

Please be familiar with your a/c type cross-wind minima and mindful of your ability/experience.

Visiting pilots are invited to contact the airfield operator on 01273 921 446 if you have any further questions.

CAUTION: undulating surface on taxiways & parking areas - hand/feet near brakes!

We have a Certificate of Agreement (CoA) in place with National Frontier Approvals Unit / Border force; all pilots can fly to and from the Channel Islands & the EU from Kittyhawk Aerodrome. Pilots are expected to comply with all relevant laws & filing procedures (sGAR etc).

As a frontier airfield, we have a close working relationship with Border Force (they attend regularly) and we do report anything suspicious or illegal.

The airfield is monitored by CCTV at all times. If you are not a resident or arriving by air and wish to visit us, you must seek permission first.

We have an Aerodrome Safeguarding Procedure (ASP) registered with Lewes, Eastbourne & Wealden councils.

Kittyhawk Aerodrome is a privately owned unlicensed airfield and is operated by Kittyhawk Aerodrome Operations Limited.
