About Blackbushe Airport

Overview

Blackbushe Airport is a medium-sized airport located in Camberley, Surrey, serving general aviation and business flight operations. Situated at an elevation of 325 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides crucial aviation infrastructure in the southeast of England.

Flying Conditions

The airport's moderate elevation and Surrey location suggest variable weather conditions typical of southern England, with potential for rapid changes in visibility and wind patterns. Pilots should anticipate seasonal variations that could impact flight planning, particularly during transitional weather periods.

Notable Features

The single runway 07/25 spans 4,380 feet and is constructed with asphalt, providing adequate length for most general aviation and light business aircraft. The airport's geographic position near Camberley offers strategic access to the London area while maintaining a relatively uncongested operational environment.

Approach Considerations

Runway 07/25's orientation suggests potential wind alignment variations, requiring pilots to carefully assess current meteorological conditions during approach and departure. The 4,380-foot runway length accommodates most light to medium aircraft, but demands precise speed and approach management.
