Bristol Airport, Bristol (EGGD)


Bristol EGGD BRS

Bristol Airport is a large regional airport serving the south-west of England, handling approximately 6 million passengers per year. It has one runway of 2000m long, running 09/27 and a simple airfield layout running parallel to the runway. It is surrounded by Class D airspace, providing connectivity to the airways structure, and has a full set of SIDs and STARs.

Large commercial passenger jets on scheduled services operate alongside general aviation light aeroplanes at Bristol. For this reason, the apron north of the runway is a secured compound, and general aviation should operate from the south of the runway ONLY.

All aircraft at Bristol - including general aviation on the south side of the runway - are required to call for engine-start clearance.
