Derby Airfield (ICAO: EGBD) is a small privately-owned grass airfield situated between the Derbyshire villages of Egginton and Hilton, in the East Midlands of England. The airfield is 7 miles southwest of Derby, and 11 miles northeast of Tatenhill Airfield (an East Staffordshire airfield with a flying school and paved runways). Derby Airfield is the home of Airspeed Aviation Limited (UK) and is the home of Derby Aero Club. Privately owned and run by the Jones family, the airfield is the only CAA licensed aerodrome in Derbyshire. Derby Aerodrome has a CAA Ordinary Licence (Number P785) that allows flights for flying instruction as authorised by the licensee (Derby Aero Club & Flying School). The aerodrome is not licensed for night use. All three runways are grass, and quite short, the longest being 594 meters. All three grass runways have some obstacles at the approach threshold, namely tall trees or electricity overhead lines; factors which add to the challenge. The scenery include a complete reconstruction of Derby airfield. Addition of custom objects such as the static aircrafts and bar bistro and a variety of airport clutter to populate the airfield. We have also modified the vegetation around the runways to reflect the real challenge of landing at this airfield. MSFS 2024 version includes: re-adjusted vegetations hieight around the airfield; adjusted terrain texture with creation of new grass areas; pathced orthophoto; sparse rocks around airfield clearing.
