Other helpful information

  • How do I get to Balado Airfield?

    We are based just a couple of miles to the West of Kinross, our access from the A91. There is a big trailer sign and signage at the road entrance. We're easy to find on google or by using What 3 Words - see our 'Contact us' page.

  • What should I bring and wear?

    Bring your sense of adventure, your voucher and a phone or camera for pictures. Wear comfortable clothing for the conditions and sensible footwear, heels will get stuck in the grass and although might look great give very poor rudder control! Bring another layer such as a jacket or fleece and you can decide on the day. Our fixed wing aircraft have heaters but the colder months do test them. Our flex wing aircraft give you the chance to sport a VERY attractive padded all-in-one-suit and helmet!
