Visiting aircraft are welcome at Gutchpool, though we require you to request permission every time. The strip is sometimes unfit for use. 730m sounds long but due to the proximity of trees and soft surface special care needs to be taken.

​

Any user of the airstrip does so at his/her own risk and is responsible for ensuring that the aircraft and pilot are capable of doing so. Some off airport / bush flying experience is recommended. Getting permission does not imply that we think the strip is suitable for any given pilot or aircraft.

​

Do not fly low over houses/farms near to the strip, especially on take off.

​

No circuits, please arrive/depart directly.

​

Please avoid damaging the white runway lights on the side of the strip.

​

Park on the grass at the SE end of the taxiway by the farm buildings. Use common sense and don't block access to the concrete.
