The short form

Part of the showcase. This form sends nothing. Nothing you type leaves this page or is saved.

Every field is needed.

Date you heard it

For example, 4 10 2026.

In 24-hour time, such as 21:40.

A street, a village or a landmark. Your full address is not needed.

Such as a low aircraft, a loud engine, or noise at night. A sentence or two is enough.

So we know who to reply to.

Where we should send the reply.

Four rules. Hold us to them.

No movements at night

No aircraft arrive or depart between 22:30 and 07:00. Not by extension, not by exception.

No training flights

No flight training and no circuit flying.

Routes away from the town

Departures follow noise preferential routes away from the town and the villages nearby. The drawing shows them.

Ground runs in set hours

Engine ground runs only between 09:00 and 18:00 on weekdays, and only in a set area.

The noise preferential routes at Ashlow Airport (illustrative)Two departure routes curve north from the runway, away from the town of Ashlow and the two villages nearby. The ground-run area is marked west of the apron. Illustrative, not to scale and not for navigation.ABCDEF123412RUNWAYTAXIWAYAERODROME ROADASHLOWSTATIONVILLAGEVILLAGEAPRONNASHLOW AIRPORT, AERODROME DIAGRAMSHEET 1 OF 1ILLUSTRATIVE. NOT TO SCALE.

The routes are drawn for this showcase. They are illustrative, not a published procedure.

Not every aircraft overhead is ours.

Some aircraft heard near Ashlow are not Ashlow's. When the records show an aircraft was not one of Ashlow's, we say so plainly, and tell you who to contact instead. You still get a reply within 10 working days.

Four meetings a year, minutes for all.

The airport consultative committee meets four times a year. Around the table: the town and parish councils, residents' groups and airport users. The minutes are published here.

The community fund

A small fund supports local groups. No amounts are shown on this showcase. Groups can ask about it on the community line.

No airspace change is proposed.

The airport cannot change its flight paths on its own. Any change would go through the CAA's airspace change process (CAP1616), with public consultation. None is proposed.

Tell us the date, the time and where you were.
