Isle of Wight / Sandown Airport (ICAO: EGHN) is a picturesque general aviation airfield located just west of Sandown on the Isle of Wight. The aerodrome features a grass surface runway (~884 m x 40 m) and operates radio coverage between 09:00 and 17:00 local time (or sunset), seven days a week.
With a strong focus on recreational flying, Sandown Airport offers flying training, microlight activity, pleasure flights, skydive operations, and houses the Wight Aviation Museum—adding depth for aviation enthusiasts. Visitor facilities (including a café/restaurant and event calendars) further enhance its appeal.
Pilots should note the grass runway surface and check current conditions; the airfield operates under general aviation rules (unlicensed) and users should obtain current PPR or advice from the airfield operator before arrival. Sandown’s coastal location on the Isle of Wight makes it a scenic destination for the GA pilot looking for a stylish UK island landing.
