Terlet Airfield (ICAO: EHTL) is a small airfield in the Netherlands near the city of Arnhem in Gelderland and close to Deelen Air Base. It is used mainly by gliders and motorgliders and some light aircraft such as the Aviat Husky, these light aircraft being used as glider tugs. It has six grass winchtracks, 04L/22R, 04C/22C, 04R/22L, 12/30, 14R/32L and 14L/32R. From only one strip motorised aircraft are allowed to operate, and only when prior permission is obtained.
The field was founded in 1952 by the Koninklijke Nederlandse Vereniging voor Luchtvaart (Royal Dutch Foundation for Aviation) to promote glider flying, though glider flying has taken place from the area since 1932. It is now home to the largest glider flying association in the Netherlands.
