TERRAIN<br />
The airfield is located on the relatively flat vigra island, very close to the coast, some 6nm north West<br />
of the city. The island is surrounded by a number of other islands with the open sea to the West.<br />
Terrain rises in a sector NE-S-SW within the 10nm with heights in excess of 1000ft amsl. Note<br />
particularly the hill to 1625ft to North West of the om, and the mountain 5nm east to over 3000ft<br />
amsl.<br />
AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL<br />
Air traffic control: Radar available. Except routing via TAT beacon for ILS 25. Overhead via vigra<br />
VOR/DME or DMEarcfor R/W 05.<br />
Note also the localiser is offset by 11.5°.<br />
There are two VOR approaches for R/W 05, one offset by 22 degrees and the other 18 degrees. Try to<br />
locate the mast (describe below) as soon as possible and expect the runway to be to the left.<br />
There is a small hill left of the threshold that may hide the runway.<br />
Circling is permitted only to the North.<br />
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS<br />
There is a hazardous radio mast 810ft high 1.5nm to the South West of the airfield, just right of the<br />
RWY 07 centreline, marked with a flashing light.<br />
Braking action can fluctuate rapidly with changing temperatures.<br />
Severe turbulence with southerly winds with strong up and downdraughts.<br />
WEATHER<br />
The climate is of a maritime type with rather cool summers and relatively mild winters. Summer<br />
weather is generally good but rainfall is plentiful. Calm weather encourages the formation of sea fog<br />
during early morning. In winter there is bad frontal weather with West to Northwesterly winds, snow<br />
showers and low ceilings. Very strong northwesterly winds can occur, but generally; lasts for a few<br />
hours only. It is possible for the wind to vary markedly with altitude.<br />
GROUND FACILITIES<br />
Limited approach lighting to RWY 25. RWY 07 PAPIS off set to the North and only for use within 3nm<br />
of threshold.<br />
Narrow taxiways.<br />
