Clutton Hill Airstrip is a small private airfield near Clutton in Bath and North East Somerset, England, offering a short hard runway for light aircraft. It was once home to the Wessex Aero Club and remains of interest to visiting pilots chiefly for its compact dimensions and an obstruction close to one threshold.
Clutton Hill Airstrip is a small, privately operated airfield near the village of Clutton in Bath and North East Somerset, England. It is of interest to visiting sim pilots mainly for its short runway and the need for careful approach planning around a tree obstruction near one threshold, as well as its historical association with the Wessex Aero Club.
The airstrip lies near Clutton in Bath and North East Somerset, England, in what would be uncontrolled airspace typical of rural southwest England. No specific controlled airspace, FIR boundary or ATZ details are given in the available sources.
The field has a single physical runway aligned 06/24, with a hard surface and runway lighting. Runway 06 is 2523 feet long and Runway 24 is 2461 feet long.
No communications frequencies are published for this airfield, and it appears to operate without an assigned radio callsign or air-ground service on record. There are no navaids or instrument approach procedures associated with the field.
Pilots visiting the field should be aware of a large tree situated close to one runway threshold, which has historically required a dog-leg manoeuvre just before the flare to avoid it on approach. No published circuit heights or joining procedures are recorded.
No specific published visual reference points are noted for the airfield beyond its location near the village of Clutton.
Clutton Hill Airstrip was formerly home to the Wessex Aero Club, though detailed records of the club's activities are scarce. The field has long been used as a private grass or light-aircraft strip in the Somerset countryside.
The airstrip requires prior permission (PPR) before arrival, historically arranged directly with the owner. It appears to remain a small private strip rather than a facility offering fuel, training or other visitor services, and no simulator scenery is mentioned in the available sources.
