For passengers and those camping over there will be award-winning Strathaven Ales on tap.
Strathaven Airfield uses Safetycom (135.475mhz) as its radio frequency. Please make blind calls to Strathaven Traffic and do not expect a response. Be aware, more wind sensitive aircraft may be using the cross-wind runways while larger aircraft may need the length of the main runway.
Our windsock is ex-Glasgow Airport and is horizontal at 30kts. The online weather station on this site is updated every five minutes - however, it is on the roof of the new hangar and is sheltered from easterly winds so will under-read easterly winds quite significantly.
Strathaven Airfield is at 847ft above sea level, so the 1,000ft wind on the Form 214 gives a good forecast. In southerlies, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Prestwick Airports will all have a significantly lower wind in their METARs than Strathaven.
To get Strathaven's QFE, simply subtract 31mbs from Glasgow's QNH.
