Pilots · Book out and PPR

Plan. Brief.
Book out or request PPR.

Rochester is a prior-permission-required airfield. Arriving? Request PPR. Departing? Book out. One form for both, and the tower confirms.

Book out or request PPR online

The tower reviews requests during licensed hours, 08:30–17:30 local, and confirms by email.

How it works

Brief. Prepare.
Request. Confirm.

Submitting a request is not the same as receiving permission.

01 · Brief

Check the briefing

Read the pilot information, the current UK AIP and NOTAMs, and the aviation weather for your route.

02 · Prepare

Gather your details

Registration and type, where you are flying from or to, your times, and any fuel or parking you need.

03 · Request

Send the form

Say whether you are flying in or out, give your times in order, and the form goes straight to the tower.

04 · Confirm

Wait for confirmation

The tower confirms by email, with any conditions and the briefing for the runway in use. Do not depart without it.
