Tarsan Lane
TARSAN LANE: Microlight airfield
Note: Both of these pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©
Operated by: Fly NI Airsports
Location: S of the M1, W of the M12, about 1.5nm WNW of Craigavon, and roughly 2.5nm NNE of Portadown
Period of operation: 2015 to -
Runways: This is very interesting. Looking at the Google Earth picture in 2015 it would appear the two main runways were:
16/34 305 grass (and) 11/29 335 grass
But: There appears to be clear evidence of a runway: 02/20 285 grass
And possibly(?) a runway: 08/26 295 grass
These are marked with red lines on the Google Earth picture.
PARAMOTOR site?
It would appear that microlight activity probably ceased here in around 2017? And then, (perhaps?), paramotor activities commenced, with initially a 11/29 100 metre runway with a 07/25 70 metre runway added later.
NOTES: By 2018, looking at the Google Earth picture, it seems difficult to see what the situation was regarding the runways in use. If anybody can kindly offer advice, this will be most welcome.
