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 is currently out of order due to the reacent hangar fire. 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.
