If your in a low wing and trying to land on 04, then you need to hit the threshold, or you sink rate = the slop of the runway!!!

Try not to stamp on the breaks too!

Best lunch

— Anonymous Flyer at Saint-Brieuc-Armor Airport, France

The terminal building is sometimes open, if not then you don't pay landing fees. If no ATC then you have to speak French & close your flight plan by calling Rennes or Brest. There is a gate at the left side of terminal, the current code is 1970 then lunch at the Routier café 2 mins walk to the right, (spot the lorries!) Excellent value @ 13euros including wine, not that you will be drinking...

Haven't been there since Sid was the major domo. Times change.

Glad to hear it is still being used, by pilots. I recommend you disregard

the negative waves of the poster above. Yeah Sid might have been Sid,

which meant no time for fool's. But at 17, he was 'the man', to me.

A 'hail fellow well met'. Taught me what a short field 270 degree approach

should look like. And other things from the characters that haunted Sids

majical aerodrome.

LIGHT ACROSS THE BAY

Good Morning

I am a retired Captain(KLM) and visit the Ny Alesund webcam daily. (I miss the webcam you used to have in the control tower)

The new high definition webcam looking out over the station often shows a small light just across the bay from the harbour. I am really curious as to who or what would be out there in such a remote place.

If you are able to satisfy my curiosity I would be very grateful to you.

Kind Regards

SALEM Airport: A win-win proposal cochin-salem-chennai and v

🔗 Mon, 23 Jan 2017
— Anonymous Flyer at Salem Airport, India

As a city,salem has good potential,atleast for weekly thrice flights to mumbai and delhi as people from salem use either banglore,coimbatore and chennai to board flights to these main metros.Daily flight to mumbai via hyderabad would be really a viable option.Also coichin-chennai daily flight of airindia and other private operator could be used as coichin-salem-chennai and vice versa.by using coichin-salem-chennai,salem passenger travelling to southeast asian countries could use chennai as boarding point,and also could use cochin as boarding point for travelling to destinationsin middle east countries.

so,10chennai-salem-cochin and cochin-salem-chennai will be a Win-Win model for both salem passenger as well as airline.moreover,RCS scheme of cent govt will encourage too for airline operators to connect salem.
