I am looking for a small or medium airport from UK2000 to fly fast GA from London. Any suggestions? Jersey is leading this list now. Thank you.

Jersey is really nice. Edinburgh is good to for flying GA through the highlands. Leeds also.

Birmingham EGBB is fantastic!

And a new version 3 has just been released.

Thanks for the suggestions. Jersey and either Birmingham or Edinburgh are my new short list.

All of their Extreme airports are excellent.  Hard to chose between them.

 

In any event, they have a try before you buy option with banners on the extreme airports or if you don't want to pay, go for their cut down non-extreme versions.

Hi

 

Apart from Birmingham, I have all the UK2000 airports mentioned so far (and few others) and can say that they're all very good.

 

If I had to pick a favourite, then it would have to be Leeds Bradford, especially at night - very atmospheric.

Get all of them, mate. Gary would appreciate that :smile:

Agree all of them are very good

But for info you will not fly up to the highlands if flying from London to Edinburgh

You would be better getting Glasgow as you will fly over the Campsie's and you have the lochs and then highlands if scenery is your thing

But in my opinion pretty much any of the uk2000 extreme airports are good and worthy of a purchase

We've used many of them in our training series (East Midlands, London Gatwick and Birmingham in the Q400 Cadet Course and Liverpool, Manchester, Jersey, Edinburgh, Belfast, Glasgow, Leeds Bradford and Bristol in our upcoming Q400 and Airbus courses) and they are all excellent. Not only does Gary provide superb support but they all perform very smoothly in the sim. 

 

In terms of a challenge - Leeds is pretty short with a steeper glideslope at one end due to terrain making it a Captain's only landing in the bigger iron. Bristol is atop a hill and is often weather-challenged as well as being on the shortish side. Glasgow has high terrain to one side making it one to keep your wits about you and Belfast has a nice challenging VOR only approach to its longest runway from the south west. If you want the ultimate challenge then Jersey in an A320/737 is a lot of fun - it's the shortest runway on BA and easyJet's network and is also usually Captain only. BA pilots call it 'HMS Jersey' because it's like landing on an aircraft carrier. Good luck with your choice!  

Well, to take a slightly different tack, you could get their GA fields Vol 1 V2.  Would give you pretty good versions of the majority of GA fields/regional airports south of Oxford.  Shoreham, Bristol, Exeter, Popham etc...

 

They aren't as detailed but for GA friendly variety, you can't beat them....

Apart from London City and Heathrow, all of them are outside of London. I would say that Luton is one of their best.
