Changes to airfield information and landing charts
This content has been machine-translated from Finnish and may contain errors.
When flying, always check the airfields’ landing charts carefully. This autumn there have been several changes to the charts and information for airfields on the lentopaikat.fi website.
Note the changed landing chart at Hyvinkää. The circuit altitude has changed. For engine aircraft the new altitude is 1200 ft. In addition, the size of the circuit has changed. In the new circuit for runway 22, the gravel pit is always circled and the downwind leg is flown slightly further out. This is intended to reduce noise exposure over the residential area. Also familiarise yourself with the airfield’s standing orders on HyIK’s website.

Another thing worth noting is that a landing fee has been introduced at Kiikala. The price is €5 per landing or touch-and-go. The field has a webcam that photographs the aircraft, and if the fee is not paid voluntarily, an invoice is sent to the club. This is then billed by the club to the pilot-in-command with an added invoicing fee of €15 per invoice. In other words, if you don’t handle the payment yourself, the price of a single landing becomes €20! So it pays to handle the payments yourself!
