Have fun BMI mates with BHD, despite having a brand new terminal they have not spent out on taxiways and a huge backtrack for 22 departure is still required. The runway is as rough as a badgers bum to say the very least and not drained well.
We on the CRJ at British European are very very careful here as there is no room for error.We rarely flex and on the occasions we do I often wonder if we could stop when the other seat calls V1.
Also the departures are very busy with a stop at 3000ft to stay below BFS traffic and a noise abatement procedure like BHX - designed not to fly over the wealthy folks houses!. The early track change after T/O from 04 is an example. The SID's date back to BHD's turboprop origins and neeed a change. That apart the ATC are very friendly and handling is very good - enjoy.
