Small airport or airfield (9)
I believe the answer is:
aerodrome
I believe this is a double definition.
'small airport' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'airfield' is the second definition.
(aerodrome is a kind of airfield)
(Other definitions for aerodrome that I've seen before include "home of metal birds?" , "place that may be alighted on" , "Take windy Rome road East to the airfield" , "Where one might land" , "go here if flying" .)
